BTW, it will create a Jobdirectory called "12_123_456_XXXX" (with XXXX being random) in your WorkingDir. And all the action will happen in there. Once it's finished it moved the "tile_12_123_456.dir" into the "WorkingDir" so the uploader can pick it up.

If Debug is set, the temporary dir will be kept around, if not the whole Jobdirectory will simply be deleted after rendering.

The only file left in JobDirectory is "client-id.txt". I have pondered moving that into the tilesAtHome directory, so people can share the WorkingDir among several clients, but that would probably fail with those mounting their tilesAtHome directory via NFS. Any optionions on how this should be handled best?
