I know it doesn't describe the exact situation you have, but I ran into what you ran into a while back and asked the page's author if he thought I was seeing the same problem. We think it's just another case of the same bug.


You can get the file references to work if you mount the user's home folder as a volume. It seems to be the only way. Otherwise, I think we're SOL for the moment.
