ah. it works, thanks!
my error was to omit the "lenya" part in the path. i had assumed that
webapps/lenya/* was the "global" location for stuff, and
webapps/lenya/pubs/mypub/{1} the local one.
still, i think the paths are very counter-intuitive (the mere fact that
some paths have "lenya" three times in it shows things are getting crufty).

sigh. you are trying to hurt me, aren't you?
may $DEITY cast you helpless on the command line!
(as a personal note: andreas and other lenya folks, i really appreciate
your help. please don't take my occasional bickering personally, i'm
just whining about technical issues, and only with a wink.)
