It then tries to move the created files to your usb stick (if its there). You can test it, just copy the commands one by one and paste in a terminal. That should show you where you have the problem. This: "mv : cannot create regular file '/mnt/removeable' : permission denied" shows that its not allowed to move the archives to your usb stick (check those permissions). As for the tar error you could see if eiher of pskmailperm.tar.gz or fldigi.tar.gz gets created in your home folder (if so then the permissions are what you need to fix). 73 de Per, sm0rwo
