I think you have the nocaseglob right. I think this is a variable set but not exported problem. Just guessing though. > $ bash --version > GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i586-suse-linux) Same as here on my Debian system: echo $BASH_VERSION 3.1.17(1)-release > $ shopt|fgrep caseglob > nocaseglob off Looks okay.

That does look odd.

A set but not exported LC_COLLATE variable. Definitely easy to miss.
