I've checked the scripts and they are quite legal. I can run them from my home directory but not from the directory I am using to build the packages in. This is the same for the distributed scripts and any that I write. The package directory is on a separate device fom the home directories and all of the directories above the packages one are set 777. I'm now positively confused!!!!!
