Robert, 

 
Do the files show up in the client data listing on the server?

You might need to put the match string in the FILE statement in
hobbit-clients.cfg in double quotes.

            I tried the following in local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d
/usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core` and it worked. It just doesn't like the D0*
expression.


            Here is the cut and paste for each


            local-clients.cfg: file:`ls -1d /usr/sap/PRD/D01/work/core`

            hobbit-clients.cfg: FILE "%/usr/sap/PRD/D0.*/work/core"

I think the problem is that the file list produced by the ls in the back
ticks is showing up as a list all on one line rather than a list of
files one per line. Not absolutely sure about that, but if you do an
echo `ls -1d ./someregexp` it produces one line of output. It might work
to actually write a script to make sure the output has newlines between
the  file names and then run that in the hobbit config instead of the
ls. 

 
Beyond that I have no idea.

 
Steve.
