Sorry to just now be replying but I have been out of the country.  I tried 
the same procedure on yet another computer.  I actually got it to run one 
time without a problem.  I then deleted the copied files and repeated the 
procedure and got the same problem again.

I am totally convienced there is a problem here.  One of the machines I have 
been working on is a "clean" machine, meaning that it has no other software 
on it other than the OS and this software.  I keep a machine around like 
this for just such purposes.  After using it for a while, I reload it.  By 
the way, some of the machines I have tried are not even on the same network.

So, I have tried this on at least 10 machines now and all exhibit the same 
behavior.  I could attach another output from  but they all look pretty much 
like the previous ones I attached.

Can anyone else try this and confirm the problem?  If it works, I suspect if 
you try it again a time or two, you too will see the problem.  Before trying 
it again, you need to make sure and delete the files from the destination 
directory.

Thank you.
