Aha - thanks a lot :-) I guess I've been caught not reading the man page 
thoroughly enough. The pitfalls of thinking that you know everything 
that a tool does, just because you use it often ...

The way the docs are written seems to imply a sender and receiver; I'll 
have to check it works for a local copy ... it does.

Now I need to rewrite my script somewhat, since to do this it's going to 
have to run as root ...

Thanks,
Richard
