Could someone verify this case we found that causes a file to be missed during 
copying?
Not copying a file without any error indication is a major problem.

Here is the setup to replicate the problem:

On hosta /tmp:

	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp   12054 Apr 13 07:46 do_tie_configs
	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    9421 Apr 15 07:58 force_download

******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    7600 Apr 15 08:02 save_tie_files
	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    1945 Feb 25 09:47 
tie_build_setup_r10
	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    7384 Apr 15 08:25 tie_dbgen_build
	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rdpecken rgr00rdp    7354 Apr 15 08:03 tie_setup

On hostb /tmp:

******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rgrmas   rgrusr      5287 Apr 27 08:34 save_new_config
******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 bowtie   rgrusr      7600 Apr 15 08:02 save_tie_files

	cd /tmp
	scp -p hosta:/tmp/[a-z]** .

7.2KB/s   00:00

	The resulting files are:

******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 rgrmas   rgrusr      5287 Apr 27 08:34 save_new_config
******	-rwxrwxr-x   1 bowtie    rgrusr      7600 Apr 15 08:02 save_tie_files

The question is why was the file "save_new_tie" not copied?
It didn't even show up in the progress report above?
It appears as if scp skips the following file after a previous file error.

Thanks - Andy
