Steve,

The same script is using cadduser perfectly.  However,  caddvsite only
functions halfway.  The directories are created as well as all content, but
the UI is not updated as it should be.  If I echo the command to the browser
that is sent to the shell, copy the line, and then paste it into an SSH
session while running the 'sh' shell it all works as it should.  So I know
the command itself is formed correctly.  But for some reason when parsed
through the script it doesn't work.  I have even sent it through
'EscapeShellArg()' to preserve the command line as is and nothing seems to
help.
