That winds up looking for a directory with a space
at the beginning of the name. :) We've got it working now, thanks!

I think that where I was going awry is that I was
thinking of the $INT() as a function, rather than a macro. When I realized
it's akin to the Bash brace expansion syntax instead of a function call,
the incorporation of the whitespace made sense.
