CDE action problem

Hello gurus,

We are experiencing a problem with a custom CDE action under Solaris 8 on
two of our Sun Fire 280R servers. The action is as shown below (start-appl
and archive_month are both bespoke shell scripts):

ACTION dummyName
{
        ARG_COUNT 0
        LABEL Archive Historical Collection
        TYPE COMMAND
        WINDOW_TYPE NO_STDIO
        EXEC_HOST server2
        EXEC_STRING start-appl -r archive_month \
                                   -w \
                                   -t %LocalHost% \
                                   -m %(String)Arg_1"Month (YYYYMM)"%
        DESCRIPTION Archive Historical Collection
}

When this action is initiated on server2 everything is fine and it does what
we expect. However, if we try to start it from server1 we get the following
error:

"An attempt to change to the following directory:

 <dir>

 from host 'server2' failed.
 Check the spelling and permissions and be sure the directory exists."

<dir> is always the current directory. I'm sure the reason for this is very
straight forward but I have been unable to find any useful information
anywhere else. This action has worked previously on an older system (Solaris
2.6 running on Sun Ultra 1's) so we're at a bit of a loss as to why it
doesn't work now.

Any help gratefully received,
I will summarise.
Many thanks,

Chris
