Hi,

I executed simfactory to login to hopper, and got:

$ sim login hopper
Warning: Unable to determine CACTUS_PATH, using /home/knarf/utils/simfactory instead
Info: Simfactory command: /home/knarf/utils/simfactory/bin/../lib/sim.py "login" "hopper"

Current directory is '/home/knarf'
but expected a subdirectory of '/home/knarf'.
It is also be possible that you need to correct your 'sourcebasedir' entry
in the mdb entry for this machine.

The warnings about the Cactus location shouldn't be there (simfactory shouldn't care about that, but that is already mentioned in another ticket), and might be unrelated to the error later, which aborts.

    sim login will now work if it doesn't know where Cactus is. I also got rid of that weird warning.
