Scott, Joel, thanks for your notes.  It's being more or less what I
expected.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason why the script worked in
one directory and not another is, uh, coz I executed it from that directory.  I
had, foolishly, assumed that if I told it to pull a file out of a specific
directory listing, that it would use that file in the context of that
directory. :/

   Aye.  For my purposes, that might actually be best right there, unless I
just kept join'ing 'file to the end of the dir every time ;)  Thanks guys.
Obvious mistake once I see it.
