Hello Peter, I beleive we asked how to do that at some point (hide the path arranegement) except that we could not figure out on how to mix /home and /data into a single substitution. Your case of oss.localroot /kanga and oss.remoteroot /kanga or /xrootd at SLAC ar a bit too convenient. Can we trick olb with soft-link or there is a simple syntax which can take care of all /data + /home (the path afterward is all and the same) ??
