     /private is merely where your canonical folders alias to.  /etc goes to

     I suspect this is to allow swapping out what drive is mounted at /,

Many of pspp's tests follow the general pattern:


TEMPDIR=/tmp/pspp-tst-$$
TESTFILE=$TEMPDIR/`basename $0`.sps

     
# generate input file
cat > $TESTFILE <<EOF
...
EOF


# run pspp on the input file
pspp -o pspp.csv $TESTFILE


The problem seems to be that something automatically prepends that /private to 
the 
second evaluation of $TESTFILE, but not the first.  Maybe you could try adding 
some
diagnostic lines to find out where it goes wrong.

Perhaps there is some special MacOS utility that we should call, to convert one 
kind of filename to another?
