Christ. Sorry to keep wasting your time.

I fixed it (again) and made sure it's there this time.

Hmm. I just ran the process here again, and I get a .orig.tar.gz, but it
never creates any .tar.gz files. Just the diff.gz later. My final list
looks like this:

	3dfile-0.1.9.1/                                 
	3dfile_0.1.9.1-1.diff.gz                       
	3dfile_0.1.9.1-1.dsc                           
	3dfile_0.1.9.1-1_i386.changes                  
	3dfile_0.1.9.1-1_i386.deb                      
	3dfile_0.1.9.1.orig.tar.gz

Ok. I'll open up a new thread on this one.
