Alistair, it is actually funny - not funny ha-ha, but funny strange - that you've encountered this.  It seems to mesh well w/some prob's I've encountered, although I could be wrong.  However, there have been times in the past few months when I had written a LOAD_THIS_EXTRACT.CMD file to import data in to a table.  There were times when I invoked these that they wouldn't complete successfully.  Now, again, I might be wrong about the cause, but I have modified most of these over time and now I see that my naming convention has "evolved" such that they are all now LD_THIS_EXTRACT.CMD, rather than LOAD_THIS_EXTRACT.CMD. 
 
Anyway, as my "LOAD" was part of the file-name rather than a member of the path-string, I could be way off the mark here.  I mention this because I could see how a path-string might be parsed differently fm the rest of a command-string.  Nevertheless, at the least, I am now forewarned about using reserved words in a path-string.
