working directory not supported for compute unit?

[oleweidner]

hm. I was hoping to get around having to implement a wd for an individual CU as this (a) not possible to implement the majority of backends and (b) messes with the 'sandbox' idea of the agent.

Obviously, one would need functioning data staging for this to work, otherwise no input data placement would be possible. I'm very much in favor for implementing that instead of the 'wd' hack. However, in lieu of current deadlines, I will give it a try.

Fixed. Implemented as pd.working_directory_priv().

Thanks, this works nicely now! I would rather see this renamed to working_directory though, as we do for Bigjob and saga, and as do all other job submission systems AFAIK...
