I see. Blame it on alzheimers or something I guess, I waws half asleep when I shut the lappy down after sucking about 90 megs of pictures from it because Mr. Withers needed at least one of them. The amcleanup and my cleanup worked, and an su amanda -c "my script" then ran nominally, so the only thing hurt was a vtape marked used but still empty.
