Further to my previous email - it would appear that there was a change in the Fedora/Redhat build of wget that causes this issue. An upgrade to the latest revision of 1.10.2 exhibited the problems and a downgrade avoided the problems.
A workaround/solution is to use a trailing wildcard as follows: /usr/bin/wget -r -m ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/* Rather than /usr/bin/wget -r -m ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ (which worked in earlier revisions of 1.10.2) This might make a good FAQ item.
