The following (slightly edited) command sequence should illustrate the problem:
foo:~> echo "backup rescueCD" ; source ${ALTRC_DIR}/tcsh.tar.source ; TAR_FULL_RESCUECD_COMMAND backup rescueCD TAR_FULL_RESCUECD_COMMAND: Command not found. foo:~> echo "backup rescueCD" ; source ${ALTRC_DIR}/tcsh.tar.source ; TAR_FULL_RESCUECD_COMMAND backup rescueCD foo:~> alias TAR_FULL_RESCUECD_COMMAND ( tar --numeric-owner -lcjvf rescueCD_`date +%Y%m%d`-`date +%H%M`.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/rescueCD . > rescueCD_`date +%Y%m%d`-`date +%H%M`.tarlist ) > & rescueCD_`date +%Y%m%d`-`date +%H%M`.tarerr When I first invoke source to read my alias file and in the same line one of the aliases, the shell complains "Command not found". When I repeat the same command sequence (or the alias by itself), the alias is read correctly.
