Hi Dayo,

The 'saved' directory needs to be a subdirectory of the directory that
flowscan reads your flow files from. E.g If flowscan is reading flow data
from /netflow, then you need a /netflow/saved directory.
However, if you are using the linkme script it shouldn't be necessary. If I
recall correctly, the linkme script creates a link in your flowscan
directory, which flowscan then removes, leaving your original data intact.
Somebody might want to correct me here, as I don't use the linkme script, so
I'm not certain.
