[Rd] Installing Win32 packages w/ 'inst' dirs

Hello ...
I noticed this last night when I updated R-devel, and then figured that I
had some 'make clean' or related issues and would look at it today. This
morning I did a rsync of r-devel into a fresh directory and am now having
the same issue.
Basically, whenever R is trying to install a package with an 'inst'
directory in it (even in the base packages, thus this happens during the
build of R), I get the output (this example from the 'utils' package):
installing inst files
FIND: Parameter format not correct
make[2]: *** [c:/r/R-1.9.0/library/utils/inst] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-utils] Error 2
*** Installation of utils failed ***
Is anyone else seeing this? It might be something from my own system, I
realize - although AFAIK nothing has changed on this machine and it wasn't
encountering this issue before (although admittedly the last time I built
R was about 2 weeks ago).
Any ideas?
Thanks
