Thanks for the patch, and the testing.  I've applied it to master and
branch-1-10, and updated $scriptversion, with one little change:

> +      directive="filename: `basename -- \"$file\"`"

For portability, this should be
         directive="filename: "`basename -- "$file"`

I see that I have one other gnupload issue from you pending.
Will reply soon.

Cheers,
Ralf
