Testing seems to show it says it copied it, even if it didn't. The default on replace is *NO. If it doesn't replace, it says it was successful, but doesn't actually do anything.

My current directory is "/"


So that means they are the same thing, right?

If so, why did the OS report a successful copy? It copied on top of itself?

The dot (period) means your current directory. So ./hobhse and /hobhse are likely two different places. It all comes down to what your working directory was when you did the copy. Likely your home directory. Get in and do this:

DSPCURDIR

What does it show.
