It would be useful if someone could post a summary of what needs fixing
on the issue tracker <https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE#mail>, and any
suggested edits for the howto documents
(<http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/filestaging/filestaging6.html> and
<http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/filestaging/index.html>).
