Yes, I found something at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8482/ , which made 
me look at the filing system of the USB. I had it formatted to vfat, as it 
was used for transferring files between Ubuntu and an XP computer. I think XP 
didn't like a *nix filing system, but *nix can handle vfat.

Good idea on the pack it all into a tar, I should have done that.

Thanks,
