LSF Version 7.3 - Running Jobs With Platform LSF

If the submission and execution hosts have different directory structures, you must
ensure that the directory where remote_file and local_file will be placed exists. LSF tries
to change the directory to the same path name as the directory where the
bsub
command was run. If this directory does not exist, the job is run in your home directory
on the execution host.
You should specify remote_file as a file name with no path when running in non-shared
file systems; this places the file in the job’s current working directory on the execution
host. This way the job will work correctly even if the directory where the
bsub
command is run does not exist on the execution host. Be careful not to overwrite an
existing file in your home directory.
