[LDM #OPN-107414]: LDM 6.9 confusing cwd/pwd

Daryl,

Yes, the current working directory for the pqact(1) process is the parent 
directory of the "data" subdirectory. Before LDM 6.9, the parent directory was 
the home directory. In 6.9, the parent directory is "var".

You've identified a bug. Let me see if I can fix it.
