Given that there were a few informative replies to the problem of getting
the root directory of an aufs volume to display as a user wanted I thought
I'd have another try at getting help me with this.

Basically, if I double click on a document for which the application is on
an aufs volume the application will not be found unless the folder which it
is in is currently open.

I setup a server volume, copied Resedit onto it then deleted it from my
disk. I double clicked on a Resedit document and was told that the
application could not be found. I opened it the folder (the server volume)
it was in, double clicked on the document and the application was found.
When I closed the folder again it wasn't found... It behaves the same way
for things in the top level of a server or for things in folders in a
server.

My machine is a Q700 running 7.01 but it happens on anything. The server is
a DecStation 500/200 running Ultrix 4.1 and CAP 6.0pl125.

Here is the directory structure of the server called test_mac.
