Hello Thomas,

I played some more with the stuff found in the log I send earlier.
Running these commands in /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings 
gets some strange (at least to me;-) results:

First I tried a root of ".":
> /tmp/release/mtn/mtn --norc 
> --root=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings 
> --confdir=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings --rcfile 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test_hooks.lua 
> --db=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test.db --keydir 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/keys address@hidden 
status --root .
Current branch: testbranch
Changes against parent
  no changes

That looks like something expected...

Then I set --root to /tmp:

> /tmp/release/mtn/mtn --norc 
> --root=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings 
> --confdir=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings --rcfile 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test_hooks.lua 
> --db=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test.db --keydir 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/keys address@hidden 
status --root /tmp
Current branch: testbranch
Changes against parent
  no changes
> ls -alF /tmp/_MTN
ls: /tmp/_MTN: No such file or directory

As you can see from the ls there is no _MTN directory in /tmp.

So I tried using a different directory (/usr):

> /tmp/release/mtn/mtn --norc 
> --root=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings 
> --confdir=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings --rcfile 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test_hooks.lua 
> --db=/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/test.db --keydir 
> /tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings/keys address@hidden 
status --root /usr
mtn: warning: current 
directory '/tmp/release/mtn/tester_dir/invalid_--root_settings' is not below 
root '/usr'
mtn: misuse: workspace required but not found

That looks like something I'd expect:-)

Is there something fishy here?

Tobias
