If you look at some of my previous posts on the subject (ref: Lilypond
command-line --include) you'll see that lilypond is not finding 
functions.ly
in the \include statement, despite defining the path to that file with
the -I or --include directives. Giving the full path to the file in the
\include statement and everything compiles fine.

Is it a bug?, do I have a buggy version of lilypond (as Urs suggested as a
possibility)?, is the --include directive not intended for the purpose I'm
using it for?....I've no idea!
