I'm curious about this "matlab" incompatibility. Can you clarify what you mean by "a directory with @sys in the path"? Do you mean: 1. a path component "@sys" is being passed to Matlab? /afs/cell-name/appl/@sys/bin/prog 2. a path component that is a symlink whose target path contains @sys? /afs/cell-name/appl/bin/prog where "bin" is a symlink to "@sys" or to ".bin/@sys" where ".bin" is a directory containing sub-directories "amd64_linux26".
