Bill,

There should be a new [dspace]/bin/dspace binary file in your 1.6.2 bin 
directory.  If that is missing, then something must have gone wrong in 
your upgrade?

Your 1.6.2 'bin' directory should end up with these files:
http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.6.2/dspace/bin/

Essentially, DSpace 1.6 introduced this new 'dspace' binary script as a 
replacement for the old 'dsrun' script.  The new 'dspace' script is 
cross-OS compatible, which enables all [dspace]/bin/* scripts to run on 
any operating system (previously, most scripts only ran in Linux/Unix 
environments).   Currently, we still included the 'dsrun' script in 
1.6.x (to support backwards compatibility, if people are used to running 
it diretcory), however the 'dsrun' script itself now forwards all 
commands to the new 'dspace' script.
