Try this:
$ busybox ash
~ $ echo /tmp/test/{a.txt,b.txt,c.txt}
/tmp/test/{a.txt,b.txt,c.txt}
It appears that the busybox shell does not implement bash/C shell
alternation (aka "brace expansion"). None of the busybox builds I
have on hand do anyway, and I don't see any options in the config file
to enable such a feature...
