Description

The new shell scripts fail with a relative directory:

% current/bin/hadoop-daemons.sh start datanode
node1: current/bin/..: No such file or directory
node2: current/bin/..: No such file or directory

The problem is that HADOOP_HOME is set to a relative directory and hadoop-daemons does a cd, breaking the other scripts.
