[Webtest] Unique Directory for reports not possible?

Changing the "resultpath" in the configs of my test scripts moved the 
'results.xml' to the right spot, but after adding the "copy tofile=..."  
I get:

Warning: Could not find file 
/usr/local/www/lgeadvertising.com/qa/canoo_webtest/webtest-results/2006-07-08_20-05-01/results.html 
to copy.  Maybe it still does not exist?  I tried upgrading to R_1357, 
but then the build failed for completely different reasons ( *see below 
), so I downgraded as I don't need additional problems at this point 
(unless I'm chasing down a known bug that's been fixed!).  Anyone know 
why this is happening?


Thank You,

Troy McGuire

* The message I got after unzipping build.zip for R_1357 was:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlInput.setValueAttribute(Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/Page;
