Yeah, I don't know, the rsync script has been running for over a year
and all of sudden it can't delete files. But I don't think the files are
immutable. Did my previous post with the listing show this? But I tried
and still....

-bash-2.05b$ ls -lo massage.xls
-rw-r--r--  1 admin  admin  - 4463104 Aug 29 17:25 massage.xls
-bash-2.05b$ su
Password:
esmtp# chflags -R noschg ./
esmtp# exit
-bash-2.05b$ rm massage.xls
override rw-r--r--  admin/admin for massage.xls?
