yes, I'm on Linux, but like you I would not expect that to make a

and post (I can also try under Windows).
I think the @all causes all the contents of the nodes underneath to be
included in the @clean file. There are alternatives here (@others etc ...);
I have'nt tried those for a while and will have to remind myslef. My
short-cut thinking is that @all should help things, not hinder them...
