Hi Tony, long time no see. :-)

Looks like you may be missing some POSIX stuff in your LISTF. Try using HFS
syntax in your LISTF in MPEX. For example, if I do

%LISTF @[log in to unmask]

(and wait...) I get:

ACCOUNT   TOTAL:  5810 FILES     2085 MEGABYTES        8538592 SECTORS

But if I do

%LISTF /SYS/,2

my totals are different, because it picked up the POSIX files:

GRAND     TOTAL:  6040 FILES     2093 MEGABYTES        8574432 SECTORS

I would venture to guess that your REPORTed GROUP totals don't match your
REPORTed ACCOUNT total for the same reason: you have some POSIX directories
and/or files which exist at the account level outside of any MPE group.

HTH,
Patrick
