Same errors. - are the "missing" files the same every time you run the script / tar ? - what does ls -la .//Maildir/.Trash/cur/ show? - could it be the fact that those file names contain : ? i dont think so, but it's worth giving it a try. If it is, u may want to check if it's a tar problem or a shell problem, in which case u may be able to change the default list delimiter to see if it makes any difference (i dont see why it $IFS would affect this..but ) let us know how it goes, Beto
