Is the t/ directory executable? UNIX has a quirk where a directory must be readable and executable to gain access to its files. If a directory is readable but not executable, you can read the names of the files but you can't access their i-nodes. That means, you can't access their contents. You can list the names with `ls` but trying to access their i-nodes fails, like with `ls -l`. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
