Well my description was incorrect actually (the steps I gave are broken because of a copy/paste error); the following steps work on NT4 as shown below ( I had forgotten the . at the beginning of the commands i.e test1/test2/run.bat does not work whereas ./test1/test2/run.bat would)

I wish I could. However, I am afraid I'm missing skills to be able to find out the source of the problem and a solution to it. Anibody around that has a good grasp on the code and could spot out the problem?
