I guess I don't understand why you need DIRMAP if you are running Dirmaint.
Agreed, DIRMAINT's command set is one of the less intuitive items to appear
in Western Civilization, but if you're constantly second-guessing your
resource manager, it would seem that you're spending a lot of time and
effort duplicating what DIRM already does mechanically. 

Could you elaborate on what it is that causes you to want to circuvent
DIRMAINT?
