I tried using the .\ notation but this gave a "nothing to do", possibly
because the files were not found?
[tar] Nothing to do: .. \latest\ss-src.tar is up to date.
But, it did take a little while to finish!
The .bat may be a misnomer - it happens to be the top of an alphabetic list
of files under the workDir.
But, thanks for your input.

not sure about this but you might want to specify your relative directory
either with a \ in front or .\
(e.g. \bin\nt\addappsignersecurity.bat or .\bin\nt\addappsignersecurity.bat
)
Also i noticed that the file extension is .bat.. could that be causing a
problem?
Anyways.. not sure if this is it but maybe you can try it..
