Thank you, Colin.

/usr/local/bin, where the new pilot-xfer is located, comes before
/usr/bin, where the old pilot-xfer is located. Yet when I don't specify
the full path for the command, the /usr/bin version is executed.

I'm still confused. Shouldn't the $PATH specify the order in which
commands are searched for? There must be some other shell configuration
that redirects to /usr/bin first.
