I guess that's it:

attr -l /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
Attribute "Beagle.Uid" has a 22 byte value 
for /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
Attribute "Beagle.MTime" has a 14 byte value 
for /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
Attribute "Beagle.AttrTime" has a 14 byte value 
for /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
Attribute "Beagle.Fingerprint" has a 25 byte value 
for /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

There must be a way around this.  Is it possible to suppress these Beagle 
attributes while copying?  Surely there must be.

Anne
