cp problem

[Todd Cohen]

I figured it out.. since afs is a symlink to my directory, ../.. goes down
the afs tree, not the local directory structure like I thought. So instead
of ../.. being my local account on this box, it was
/afs/clarkson.edu/users/c/o/. 

I've also seen this before under linux running arla..
