'incoming' directories are often hidden as a security precaution.

What OS/environment are you on?
I had no problems building dbf2pg under Redhat linux. Under freeBSD I had
to make sure that 'make' references gmake and not the freebSD make utility.
The version of dbf2pg in the contrib/dbase directory has a couple of problems,
it does not handle memo fields and it fails on numeric fields that are all
blanks. (I have a short patch which corrects the latter problem by setting
the field to 0.)
