THANK YOU oli!

That did it.  I don't remember seeing any hing about there being a 
requirement of logging in before the user's directory would be 
completely populated. Never had more than one user to a system in the 
past, either.

I will put that in my bag of notes, might come in handy...

Cheers,
Jay
