Simon.
Repeated frequently, so I need to automate it.
What I am thinking now is that I will have to create the directory structure
on AIX first and populate with the files, but I was hopeing to avoid that.

Sure; I understand that part. What I meant was why do you have this
situation in the first place? Is this a one off task, or something which
will be repeated frequently?
