You don't ever 'cd' back out of the first subdirectory, so you can't
find the second:

Cheers,

Thanks Ralf. I feel pretty dumb. You know I suspected that was the problem,
and was trying to cd ../. But now I realize I was putting the cd ../ in the
wrong place. After my wrongly placed cd ../ didn't work (which I thought
was rightly placed) I thought maybe that the example code at
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/books/agaal/catalog_of_reusable_solutions
was correct and make would handle the cd'ing for me. Maybe I should file a
documentation bug report with John Calcote!
