Description From 2006-10-12 10:58:36
[greenc@fgtest1] ~ $ globus-job-run-ws fgtest1.fnal.gov:9443 /usr/bin/whoami
globusrun-ws: Job failed: Invalid directory path
"/home/minboone/.globus/scratch/951bbe9e-3714-41a0-68b6-a02bbee41159/".
org.globus.exec.generated.InvalidPathFaultType

If the /home/minboone/.globus/scratch directory is created manually:

[root@fgtest1 ~]# ls -ld /home/minboone/.globus/scratch
drwx------  2 minboone e898 2048 Oct  9 12:36 /home/minboone/.globus/scratch

Then the command succeeds:

[greenc@fgtest1] ~ $ globus-job-run-ws fgtest1.fnal.gov:9443 /usr/bin/whoami
minboone

I would submit that the default behavior should be to ensure that the scratch
directory exists prior to creating the unique directory underneath it, as is
currently the case for pre-WS operation as I understand it. Otherwise, admin
intervention may be needed on a per-user basis.

Thanks for your time and help,
Chris.

This behavior was intentional since we aren't using the GASS cache anymore and
a common base scratch directory may be specified by the admin that shouldn't be
manipulated on a per-user basis. That said, other users have complained about
this behavior so we're trying to decide what the best way to handle this is.
I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #3803.
