I haven't had a chance to investigate yet, but manual tests of the script have run without errors so far. It's only during the automated build that it fails. The automated build is initiated manually but is run through a Makefile wrapper that will drastically alter the environment. Beyond this, I have no further input. I'm hoping to spend some time on it in the next few days. Thanks -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302
