Thanks Much. The date stuff did work. Now need to work with the scp stuff.
Thanks again,

One other thing might also be necessary...
After you have set the directories' permissions, shut
down the cron service and restart it.
$ cygrunsrv -E cron
$ cygrunsrv -S cron
If you want to be really sure, then shut down the service,
uninstall it, reinstall it, and restart it.
