It sometimes turns out that the given path was wrong. This
happens when a symbolic linked directory was backed up.
The user sees "/home/username" but the original directory
"/fs1/home/username" is backed up. When his PWD is
/home/username, a 'dsmc q backup "*"' will tell him that
nothing has been backed up. After he did a "cd /fs1/$HOME"
the q backup will succeed.
