   Hi Jim,   
      
   I just wrote to Tony that I had no space, but now I   
   understand what you are looking at...   
      
   Yes, K06 is the name of the system, and K06 Apps is the   
   share name of one of its disks. That was my attempt at   
   specifying the complete path after trying other approaches.   
      
   Assuming the problem to be the space, how should I specify   
   the path properly?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   --   
   Kenneth
