Let me reiterate:   let's keep this discussion on the mailing list,
please.  I set a Reply-To for a reason.

The problem appears to be the permissions of your 'desktop' directory.
Use "chmod a+r /Users/admin/desktop" to make it readable by everybody.
The 'fink' command uses an unprivileged (as a measure of safety) user to
build packages, and it appears to be unable to access your Fink tree (ff).
