I can't imagine what could be the problem there.  But the fileutils
bug list is probably not the place to get information on your
problem since you are not using any of the fileutils.  Sorry, wrong list.

I suggest one of the news groups such as comp.os.linux.misc might be
better since you have not figured out what the problem is yet.  That
is the best I can suggest.

Good Luck

Bob
