Cygwin seemed to be kicking in when it saw the backslashes to try and map windows drive shares or something like that. In the end I gave up and changed what I was doing to remain on linux and ended up using cygwin only for the very final stage (it is an automated backup system). --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
