On BSD systems using a dot as a separator is not allowed. On Mac OSX it is deprecated. A colon should be used instead. BSD systems also use the "wheel" group instead of "root" to indicate the "super user" group. Both groups use the id of 0.

Oops, I forgot to do some communication. When you started reporting macosx/bsd portability problems, I looked back at an old mail which was taken a bit too seriously and turned into a flamewar instead of something useful : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009659.html So it mentioned du and cp problems, which you already found again. I don't understand the source vs . one because source is bash builtin, but Dan mentioned this already back then. The last point was that chown problem so I patched it two days ago : http://shining.toofishes.net/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=e... Anyway I will merge the two patches and fix the comment like Dan said. PS : For doing this, I need my wifi connection back at home, which wasn't working yesterday evening and this morning. I hope it won't last..
