[X Newbies] Carbon Copy Cloner not working on non-US systems ?

[James S Jones]

Did you selectively choose to not install all the BSD subsystem 
components? It seems unlikely that "/usr/bin/grep" is different in 
France. It's not like "grep" is an English word. . .

The CCC author does include a link to an Italian review of the product, 
so it must work for some non-US users.
