[Pvfs2-developers] mkdir test

[Walter B. Ligon III]

Oh, this bug isn't trivial to fix either - someone had a brain fart and 
made pvfsEXELocation local to one file ... I'll let whoever's code that 
is fix it.

Anyway, I think I found that bug.  It was related to calling a 
completion function that was expecting to decode a state machine control 
block (the caller was passing the wrong pointer - apparently it was 
declared with a void pointer argument so the compiler didn't catch it). 
  I tried greping around to look at that stuff, but since I don't know 
all the places a completion function is called its hard to figure out if 
they are all right.  Anyway, we might just have to brute force it to 
find any more.  I'll get it all checked in for the next nightly.
