[LDM #ZTF-213680]: dccraft_move not working

Clint,

The working directory of pqact(1) is specified by the value of the 
"/pqact/datadir-path" parameter in the LDM registry. You can see the value via 
the command "regutil /pqact/datadir-path".

I suspect the value isn't the home-directory of the LDM user, so pqact(1) 
wasn't finding the "util/" subdirectory.

You can use the absolute pathname of the dccraft_move(1) program in the 
pqact(1) entry, or set the above parameter to the home-directory of the LDM 
user, or just have "dccraft_move" in the pqact(1) entry AND ensure that 
"$HOME/util" is in the LDM's user's PATH environment variable.
