 Thanks for the info Andy.
 Can you tell me where that is documented - I can't find it.
 
 I don't get this - the same error 2 occurs even if I use * or *.* or just
 a directory name.  The tar manual suggests those are all valid so I  dont
 know how it can think the file isnt there... stwange .....vewy stwange...
 
 This is bound to be a permissions thing somehow ... you're both right I
 expect... I just can't find the blockage.
