We've been having trouble with the new 'dspace' script launcher, and have so 
far stuck to using dsrun.  Our problem was that none of the commands seemed to 
be recognized.  Typing an incorrect command (or just ./dspace) yields a very 
nice set of usage notes:

Usage: dspace [command-name] {parameters}
 - checker: Run the checksum checker
 - checker-emailer: Send emails related to the checksum checker
 - cleanup: Remove deleted bitstreams from the assetstore
 - community-filiator: Tool to manage community and sub-community relationships
 - create-administrator: Create a DSpace administrator account

Etc., etc.  Now, I don't know how anybody else's brain works; but when I see a 
dash in a help file, I automatically think of command line options.  So, we've 
been trying to use the new script thus:

./dspace -import {etc}

Silly, I guess -- but several of us read it that way, so I thought I'd post the 
tale here as a possible cautionary note for future documentation endeavors.

Cheers,

Bill
