Okay, I had a hard time figuring out your examples, but I think I've got an independent repeatable test case for the problem. ================================================================ mkdir etc home mtree -c -d > ../out mtree -d < ../out echo $? mkdir home/temp mtree -d < ../out echo $? sed -i "" 's/^\(home[ ]*\)\(.*\)$/\1ignore/' ../out mtree -d < ../out echo $? ================================================================ The results are: ================================================================ 5045] (lowell-desk) temp> mkdir etc home [5046] (lowell-desk) temp> mtree -c -d > ../out [5047] (lowell-desk) temp> mtree -d < ../out [5048] (lowell-desk) temp> echo $? 0 [5049] (lowell-desk) temp> mkdir home/temp [5050] (lowell-desk) temp> mtree -d < ../out home/temp extra [5051] (lowell-desk) temp> echo $? 0 [5052] (lowell-desk) temp> sed -i "" 's/^\(home[ ]*\)\(.*\)$/\1ignore/' ../out [5053] (lowell-desk) temp> mtree -d < ../out [5054] (lowell-desk) temp> echo $? 0 ================================================================ and I think the problem you're having is that the second "echo $?" should be 2, although the others are correct at 0. Is that correct? One difference from your example is that you're using '-u'. I'm not sure why you're doing that, but it doesn't affect the bug.
