Could you try running the attached script on your machines (check the
code first!!) and report in a private email to me the output?
Corrections/comments are welcome to be public either on d-d and/or on
the bug report.
What I want to do is inspecting the running system, instead of relying
on the presence of directories (I will use this latter method if the
first fails).
Thanks,
