No; the test I ran (the one causing trouble, anyway) is that of moving a
file into a directory on another volume.  This is what gurus, every time.
Unfortunately, I seem to do a lot of these kind of mv's in UNIX, so I'd 
probably end up guruing (sp?) my Amiga unwittingly all too frequently.

Assume:
	bin:	==	dh0:bin		(dir)
	mv (file) is in the current directory, on dh2:
Then:
	mv mv bin:	(use mv to move itself to another directory)
	<<< GURU >>>

That was the situation I was trying to convey.  By the way Mark, thank's for
authoring MRBackup.  It is wonderful, although, as you say, kinda slow.

	Jeff
