The tcsh completion script is just a wrapper, it relies on the bash  
completion script to do the heavy lifting and tunnels its output int  
tcsh's completion infrastructure.
Could you try bash completion in your environment first to see,  
whether it's a bash completion issue that I can't reproduce or an  
issue with the tcsh wrapper?
