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".
