James:

I wouldn't expect it to make a difference, but why run it through QSH? 
Won't a CPY command work for you? I've always worked with NFS in 
QSYS.LIB rather than QSH or PASE, so I don't know what differences might 
complicate things.

But I also prefer removing as many layers as I can when tracking things 
down. Analysis _might_ be simpler. Maybe.
