I think I've figured it out.  It is (probably) a difference in how sh and csh
treat the '*' wildcard if it doesn't match any files.

Assuming you don't have a directory called mf: that contains a .jpg
file, then sh and csh would act differently.

$ echo mf://*.jpg
mf://*.jpg
$ csh 
% echo mf://*.jpg
echo: No match.
% 


I *knew* it was csh's fault!   :-)
