For what it's worth the users with this problem were unable to remove the files using wildcards. For example, one user had a file named: På hjul.mkv ls P* displayed the file. rm P* returned the error "can't remove 'På Hjul.mkv': No such file or directory" I have been unable to find other reports of problems like this. Perhaps it is unlucky that BusyBox just happened to be 2 for 2! Jason
