24 There are some strange characters in the file names.
25 After my latest sync at 070609 2232 my corresponding dir contains eg
26
27 vmpsd-1.3 vnc-4.1.2
28 vmpsd-1.3-r1 vnc-4.1.2-r1
29 vmpsd-1.3-r2 vnc-4.1.2-r2
30 vmpsd-1.3-r3 vnc-4.1.2-r3
31
32 Try renaming the files to replace '^R' etc by what looks correct.
33 I can e-mail you the full dir list, if I have your personal e-ddress.
