   To clarify my quetion...   
      
   I don't ask you to do my debugging, but I would like to know if I   
   faithfully followed the suggestions, so here's the file after I followed   
   what I thought were the suggestions (with the comments removed).   
      
   Only one top-level directory is supposed to be created (which was how the   
   original posted script worked - which was a fully working script).   
      
   Did I follow your suggestions correctly or did I mess up in understanding?
