Thanks for the confirmation Oswald.  I can now use mbsync with a local
file system.  I might be on the outer fringes with a very nfs intensive
environment.  Some of our nfs is managed by administrators outside of my
control leaving me no alternative but the local file system.

I will try mbsync now.  Thank you for your help.
