Thanks. OK the script below seems to work (well once):

#! /bin/tcsh -f
#

set target="$4"
set dsfile="$target/DateStamp.txt"
echo "Latest clone was done on `date` " > "${dsfile}"

You end up with a text file called DateStamp on the top level of the volume you are cloning to. In that file is the time of the latest clone in the form:

Latest clone was done on Thu Jun 4 23:31:39 CST 2009

Thanks again Dave.

Regards - Michael
