User Request from SCEC:

SCEC is using the --output-dir option to specify different output directories for each sub workflow in a hierarchal workflow to an output site

In 4.2, if a relative path is passed as the --output-dir option it gets resolved to the local site as an absolute path. This resolving is incorrect, if a user has specified a non local site as the output site. The only way to specify this in 4.2 is to give the correct absolute path in the --output-dir option on the remote site.

SCEC has a request, where they want the path to appended from the storage directory specified already in the output site.
For 4.3, we will implement this . However, the appending will not happen for local sites as for that the directory from where the planner is invoked / the command line will be used to determine the directory
