Hi
I think u r running gzip from /lvo295. Try executing this script running gzip from /lo195/dpr1/exp directory.
B'coz, gzip won't accept other than your PWD. This might solve your problem.
I just now tried on my system with the same, it worked out in this way.

Guys, please correct me if i'm wrong.


Thanks
