   I'll put both of these in 1 report since they're related to importing.   
      
   Issue 1. When using a CD DIRS.TXT list, if you have a directory which   
   subdirectories, scfg will erroneously report a duplicate directory. For   
   example:   
      
   ```   
   $ grep driving DIRS.TXT   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving/   BBC:Games:Driving   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving/boat/      BBC:Games:Driving:Boat   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving/miscellaneous/     BBC:Games:Dr   
   ving:Miscellaneous   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving/motorbike/ BBC:Games:Driving:Motorbike   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving_top_down/  BBC:Games:Driving Top Down   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/driving/vertical/  BBC:Games:Driving:Vertical   
   /nfs/bbs/bbc/files/games/maze/driving/      BBC:Games:Maze:Driving   
   ```   
      
   I got a report about DRIVING being a duplicate directory. There are no   
   duplicates here.   
      
   Issue 2.   
   I specified a full pathname to the files, but scfg is assuming that those   
   files are in the /sbbs/data/dirs directory and that is not the case. Parent   
   directory is blank in this case. Maybe an option to use absolute or relative   
   path when importing may be in order to help the sysop properly locate the   
   files.
