[cod] Now what ...Am I missing something

[Jay Vasallo]

Oh it will. But so much easier to specify the fs_homepath to iliminate any 
issues down the line.
Then you will always see it. Being a server provider, I try to make it as 
easy as possible for the clients to view the pb folders. If you specify the 
homepath, pb updates and does everything just fine and on its own.
