A while ago I upgraded to Squeeze.
I've noticed filename completion does not appear to work for some
commands, such as oocalc.
Anybody point me the direction of a solution? Thanks,

Is it only failing for a specific set of filenames (OOo)?

If so, there has to be a file at "/etc/bash_completion.d/ooffice.sh" for
that purpose, installed by "openoffice.org-common" package.

Otherwise, if completion is not working at all, chances are that during upgrade your /etc/bash.bashrc was overwritten/changed so that the completion part was commented out (I think that is the default on vanilla installs?).
Have a look at /etc/bash.bashrc and search for a comment:

# enable bash completion in interactive shells

and uncomment the lines just after it.

Hope this helps,
Lorenzo.
