Ah, this will be because they're using the *at() calls that were
introduced in glibc 2.4.  Plash 1.17 doesn't replace those calls which
means you get ENOENT etc.  In SVN currently the calls are just stubbed
out.  I was hoping to leave implementing them until after the next
release (details at http://plash.beasts.org/wiki/Story5).  But I guess
I'll have to do it before releasing.  It seems Ubuntu feisty has
updated core utilities to new versions which use those calls.
