Yes, I solved the problem by removing spaces. I always create 
directories and files without spaces. but a cut-and-paste in Windows 
doesn't respect such. I haven't seen any permissions problems on a 
cut-and-paste .. the only issue I see is when I port back to Fedora and 
have a script to get rid of everything being an executable.

I am just hoping that I can understand where basename is executed so I 
can flag the problem. It ain't a show-stopper, but it would be nice to 
just do a cut-and-paste followed by a make in the new directory which 
should tell me "you got spaces".

Okay ... interesting ... can I beg a bit more of an explanation as I 
don't understand the difference between ">&" and "&2>1" (bash stuff is 
an an area that I am maybe "less than a newbie")

Thanks,
Paul
