But /tmp is the destination.  I can certainly retrieve to a different path
than the source.  Even the examples in the "Using the BA Clients (Unix)"
show that you can.

For the sake of testing, I created the dir /home/user/lau on myclient and tested
again:
mkdir /home/user/lau
# dsmc retrieve -fromnode=spider01.cc.vt.edu "/home/user/lau/test.f" 
"/home/user/lau/test.f"

Retrieving              57 /home/user/lau/test.f --> /home/user/lau/test.f
[Done]

Retrieve processing finished.

IT WORKS!  I learn something new every day.  You can only retrieve to the same
path.  Now the question: is this a feature or a bug?

Thanks Richard.  At least I got it to work.
