Exactly.  (In case you're curious, df <file> is the only shell utility I 
could find mentioned in the single unix standard that reports what 
filesystem a file is on---so I thought it should get it right ;-).  Not 
only does it report on free space, it slices, dices, and makes Julienne 
fries!)

Works exactly as I'd hoped.  Thanks for the excellent work (not to 
mention the rapid turnaround)!  Keep up the great work, Paul.
