So, Daniel: what do you see if you do what-dir in the
       other script?  Can you change-dir?  What are the
       system/options/path, and system/script/path values?
       Can your script write out a test file, if so, where
       does it show up?  

       The exists? function actually makes this determination
       by attempting to open a port to the file or url your
       specified.  If opening the port results in an error it
       does not exist (for all practical purposes that's true
       as far as REBOL's concerned there)-- otherwise it does
       exist.  Point being that other things can make it
       appear to not exist.
