Which brings me to a question I asked earlier...  who's to
say the bug (ahem... "feature") isn't in IBM's exit point
code?  Most of the time they return the qualified path in
the exit point, and in these cases they don't.

Maybe they should always return the qualified path.  Or add
a parm.  One parm for the qualified path, one for the path
used in the FTP command.
