No, nothing at all.  I even zipped up the offending files into a tar file
so I could attach it as an example, but when I tested it by untaring the
files in /tmp, instead of in my home directory, everything worked fine.  In
that case all the path names were identical except that of my home
directory.  It's very strange.
