djc.,

thanks for the assistance. makes it all abundantly clear _except_ for this
problem:

having sobered up enough after work drinks on Wed night and having beat up
tapeware (is that a bizarre app or is it just me?) I finally attempted to
fix this thing.

 I have shuffled stuff out of the way where necessary but when attempting to
"mv /files /new" I get a couple of errors and a "/new" but "/files" has not
actually been renamed. wtf?!
