That has been done long ago Mark.  The problem is that on pclos (this box) 
gene is the first user, with a userid of 500.  On ubuntu, gene is also the  
first user 1000, so when user 500 tries to copy a file to /home/user=1000 
on ubuntu, its 100% no permissions.

Now if the copy utilities used the username, and it was the same $name on 
both machines, there is no clash.                                               
                                                                    

Cheers, Gene
