What a drag. That fixed it! The perldoc for the module seems to indicate that the parens arent necessary:

           $file = File::NCopy->new(recursive => 1);
           $file->copy "file","other_file";
           $file->copy "directory1","directory2";

           $file = File::NCopy->new(u_chmod => \&my_chmod,f_check => \
+&my_fchec
k);
           $file->copy "directory1","directory2";

Thanks heaps! -c
