Hi,
  Thanks. Forgetting the "!" was a typo. Some people can reproduce this
error and others have my script work just fine. I'm starting to wonder if it
has something to do with the file system or locking or permissions.

The symptoms are the same weather or not the "!" is present, btw. The error
I get is the following:

bash-2.01$ PATH=./junk123:${PATH}
bash-2.01$ export PATH
bash-2.01$ stuff.sh
stuff.sh: Can't open stuff.sh
bash-2.01$ type stuff.sh
stuff.sh is hashed (././junk123/stuff.sh)

Note -- the error is different than if it can't find the command:

bash-2.01$ bogus.fruitcake
bash: bogus.fruitcake: command not found

Thanks again for your help.

	Cheers,
		Gordon.
