Try running: ./t3902-quoted.sh -v -x -i to get more verbose output. Looking at this test, it tries to create files with funny characters in the names. Presumably your filesystem isn't happy with one or more of them. The verbose output will probably make it clear which. Version 10.9 isn't incredibly new, but these tests have been around a long time. If OS X has a problem with these filenames, it seems odd for it to be surfacing now. Do you know what filesystem you're using? You aren't running the tests by any chance on a network mount from a Windows machine? -Peff
