Thanks again, Matt.  I'll reply to this rather than the
previous reply.  I tried out the mv rather than copy
suggestion and it worked but ever so slow. After issuing
the move command and waiting a few minutes without it
completing, I went to another terminal and ls -al my
Pictures dir.  Only the first of 7 sets had been mved.
Waited a little bit longer and found the second set moved.
Eventually all the sets were transferred but it was like
downloading individual pictures and took maybe 10-15 minutes
to complete. No real issue here, just reporting for the
archives and noting how long it takes to do a simple mv
command vs. the entire download using flickrfs. Now, if I
could just get the rest of my hardy OS to run as fast as
the flickrfs download did-:)).  Thanks for your help and
feedback.
