fcopy and ignoring .svn directories when copying recursively

[stan at stanandliz.net]

Aplolgies, but I have checked the script that the test install client was
running and the fcopy script was not the amended one.

I am now testing re-install with the amended script and will keep the list
informed as to my results.

thanks

Stephen
