 well.. basicly the output tells you all you need.. when you login,
 the file pub/unix/mail/.../mutt isn't avail.. it turns out that the
 ftp server decides to dump you in the /pub directory instead of the
 root directory...  so you end up duplicating the pub...
 
 now the question is, should we simply add a / to the front of the path
 in fetch?  it would fix it...  I don't have my RFC database close at hand
 but does it tell you whwer you are suppose to get dumped when you login?
