sh should not expand this wildcard unless you have a file called
literally

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/derek/foo.pub

starting from the current directory. 

However I think some shells (zsh?) will try to expand wildcards like
this to '' if they don't match.  Perhaps the OS X shell does this.

So you should put the argument containing the wildcard in single
quotes.
