Tony, please file an ode bug report using gen-ptt.  ODE tries to do
funny things sometimes with ./ paths, since sometimes people want them
interpreted from src, no matter where they are.  In fact you can start
paths with "/" and they'll be interpreted as <sandbox>/src/... .
Anyway, it doesn't totally surprise me that this isn't handled right.

If you need help with gen-ptt, here's the entry from our web page
(rengweb/ode/help):

o Reporting ODE Bugs/Suggestions 

If you encounter a problem with an ODE command or tool, or have a
suggestion you'd like to file, you can report this bug into the problem
tracking database.

While within the sandbox which had the problem (preferably), enter the
command gen-ptt. The first time you use this it will prompt you
questions to fill in, and will then save a profile. Select the default
product ode, and select the appropriate component listed. You will then
be put in an editor session (uses EDITOR), in which you must fill in
the PROBLEM ABSTRACT and PROBLEM STATEMENT. If your system can send
mail, accept the [mail] option; otherwise exit, and copy the file
 ./ptt-temp, to a system which can send mail, and send it using the To:
and Subject: information at the
top of the file.

You should receive an automated confirmation shortly after the ptt has
been submitted. If you do not, please inquire of decwet::ode on the
status of your PTT report.
