Ha, ha! True! Stefan, I tried escaping the spaces (even tried \\ double and \\\ triple escapes in case it makes a difference because of using ssh) but still did not work. In my head I couldn't see how the full path would not work, but the relative path would, but I tried it out all the same. I still don't understand why Alan's recommendation works ;-) -- Regards, Mick
