Maybe my problem was that I wrote the script first, on the server, then
only later tried to access it with Emacs and edit it. I think the
re-upload process failed halfway through or something, and I ended up
with a bunch of extra files on the server, and the script in the wrong
place. It's one of those things that doesn't annoy me often enough to
make me actually go and fix it.
