Just got round to having a look at the dircompare file, I have modified it, run it and it does not seem to compare the directories.

I have run it with /d and it seems to find both directories, but it does not find any files to compare.

Copy of my script

<<

; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; - site defined settings -
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$dir2="\\butterfly\desktop$" ; - source directory -
$dir1=ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop")
IF (Substr($dir1,Len($dir1),1) <> '\')
$dir1=$dir1+"\" ; - destination directory -
ENDIF
$file_mask="*.*" ; - "" = all files / "*.kix" = only kixtart files -
;
$execute_mode="yes" ; - yes/no -
$execute_file=$tmp_directory+"\cmd.kix"
;
$debug_mode="no" ; - yes/no -
$debug_file=$tmp_directory+"\kix-info.log"
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; - -
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>

The only thing I can see different is the way the path to source is specified which I have tested and it does not make any difference.

Any ideas?
