Bash tracks how you got there and '..' is more like $(dirname $PWD) than the real '..'. Run help cd And read the part about 'cd -P' versus 'cd -L'. Try using 'cd -P' instead and you should see what you are actually doing. > Thus the wrong parent dir is chosen, and I curse GNU mv :( I curse 'cd -L' being the default for bash. ;-( I don't have enough information here to know for sure but I am confident that confusion over symlinks is the problem. I answered a similar question in the following link. Perhaps reading it might shed some light on your particular problem. http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-fileutils/1999-November/001303.html Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
