Does it help if you leave the files in /usr/bin, but explicitly specify
the path to the program (e.g., /home/Ed/telnet.exe)?

Sounds like a permission issue. What does "ls -ld /usr/bin" show?
This may be a red herring, but try the following command:
chmod a+x / /bin /lib /usr /etc
If this helps, your trouble may be with traverse checking...
Also, can you post the permissions on the original files and the copies in
your home directory (both "ls -l" and "getfacl")?
HTH,
