Ok. I did some tweaking. Here is a log excerpt:

Notice the "\" after the outbound directory. Now here's my HPT directory
structure:

"

As you can see, I adapted the outbound directories to handle the (DOS-based)
"\" directory seprator. Now the only problem, as I can see, is that on the
Linux side, BInkP is looking for lowercase bundle names. When they are
already uppercase. Man, this is a real pain. Is there some sort of
undocumented "lowercase" switch or flag or something? Or maybe I
could write
a sed script to rename the bundles to lowercase.. Anyway, if anyone could
help me out, i'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
ignatius
