Further to my other debugging info, I suspect that /bin/test is
perhaps broken. I found a reference to this and wonder if maybe an
old bug has resurfaced:
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=Plan9-9fans&a=2006-11&t=2651643
Testing manually in a terminal I get the following:
% test -f /dev/sdC1/plan9 # works, I think
% test -f /dev/sd*/plan9*
test: unexpected operator/operand: /dev/sdC1/plan9
Hope this helps,
Matt
