Wayne,
Thank you again for responding.  I have changed the
permission on the directory and it's parent dir. of
the receiving machine to 766.  I still get the same
result.

If you have any other suggestion I would be very
greatful as I have been "challenged" by this problem
since Friday.

Thanks again,

Richard
