I'm wondering if something else happened in the renaming
script.  Is it possible there is a space (or some other
non-printable character) as the first character of the file
names?  The output on a couple of messages leads me to
believe so.  When I do an "ls -l", there is only one space
between the date and the file name, in Charles's output,
there are two.  I'd be interested to see the output of:

ls \ *
