Say /remote/disk is an NFS-mounted directory, then change onto a local
disk and run "ls /remote/disk" to get the ominous error 550. Running "cd
/remote/disk; ls", on the other hand, will work fine. Similarly, file
name completion from a Nix-installed bash won't work, i.e.:

 cd $HOME
 ls /remote/disk<TAB>

Take care,
Peter
