Hm. That was stupid of me. (although I would have thought that 1)
dirvish was built with its own absolute path names, and 2) it would
error out if it could not find its own programs.)
I tend to always specify programs run as root with their full pathname
whether or not they could be found in the PATH by default. I feel it
is a good safety practice. Had not even occured to me (obviously) that
dirvish-runall would not know where the rest of dirvish is.

True. Thanks! Let me see if this fixes it.
