Well I've had some success now that I have a better understanding of the 
environment and the PATH variables.

The first part of the command is an option, literally --neuros-path,
not the actual path followed by the mount point, so that was just my 
ignorance.

Still something is not right as the install did not put the executable 
in /usr/local as the man page stated it would.

I have executed it (bin/natool) and copied a couple albums to the player 
so it works, just need to figure out what I did wrong in installing as 
there was an error:

Running basic smoketest.
smoketest.sh: 12: [[: not found
smoketest.sh: 18: [[: not found
smoketest.sh: 26: function: not found
Error found.  Leaving run.11199 in place.
Unable to execute command: 'sh test.sh'

The developer has been very helpful and generous in schooling me.


So... a question.
 From my obvious lack of knowledge, would an understanding of bash 
scripting help shed some light on my darkness in this case, or is it 
perl I would need to better understand?

Thanks for your time.
