I've seen it too. I thought it was just me... * * It's not valid to move a directory into itself. I'm not sure what you are talking about. I was trying to move a directory "work" into the parent directory. So, if we are in "foo/bar", "foo/bar/work" is going to be "foo/work". By the way, the errors were on thud's local disk, from thud. I saw it both as root or as myself. Sometimes one of them worked; sometimes both didn't. Satoshi
