Yes, that's what I expected.  And Erwin Waterlander suggested:

I wish it were so.  Nevertheless (-s lists identical files):
orion> diff -q -r -s /d/Program\ Files /g/Program\ Files
orion> 

But
orion> ls /d/Program\ Files /g/Program\ Files
/d/Program Files:
7-Zip                                        GPS-Track-Analyse-6                                PlotSoft
... snipped.

/g/Program Files:
7-Zip                                        GPS-Track-Analyse-6                                PlotSoft
... more snipped.

I am sure this got something to do with this being on a cloned disk running in a XP 
virtual machine (vmplayer on Win 8,1).


Thanks,
Michael

P.S. For some reason I can't subscribe properly to the list. It rejected my first request 
and following the instructions I received as a result wasn't successful.
