Sorry for the delayed reply, I was on holiday.

Yes, this will work although it means I get the "Staging ..." message
for every staged file every time I build (even if it doesn't actually
copy unless different); I think that's why I used the other method.

I bit the bullet and changed my rules to build directly into the staging
area rather than copying them afterward.  Since I already went through
the pain I'd just as soon not go back again now :-), so I'm all set I
think.

Thanks all!
