Wow, thanks!  It works.

This hylafax installation has duplicate /dev /bin and /etc in
/var/spool/hylafax/

There were a couple of pipes left there from the upgrade that were
writable by root only.

I do not have a huge deal of experience debugging from strace and I had
assumed that like tar does not stick a slash on the front of its archives
that this was doing the same.

I am really very excited now and extremely happy.  Thanks again.

Kind regards
Xander
