Thanks.  Though there's no need to shout ...

It appears now that IFNOTPROTO and all its references can now be removed,
too.

Yeah.  I still don't get it.  You're making files in teTeX/doc writable,
then doing a bunch of stuff on files in teTeX/info, and then making files
in teTeX/doc unwritable.  I don't see the connection between the chmods
and the intervening actions.

As for amanda, you're not doing anything to the files that you just
chmoded; you're just creating another directory in that directory and
populating it.  So again, I don't see what the "actions" are.
