Hi Colin,

Well, the first (obvious) question would be whether 'enmac' or 'username'
were typos there -- or if they're not referring to the same path.
Otherwise I believe simple file globs (or their equivalent) are expected
there by logfetch and the '-l' option (ell) you're giving to 'ls' might be
confusing it. Can you try it without that?

HTH,
