[dvd::rip] Problems with VOB pathname?

[Keith Hopkins <hne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert & list

 I'm seeing the same issue under SuSE 9.3 while I'm transcoding (some, 
but not all) videos in a 5 machine cluster.  I haven't found a fix yet.  
Very astute of you to notice the trailing slash triggers it.  I can see 
the same on my system when I run the commands manually.

Video-DVDRip-0.52.6-0.pm.0
transcode-1.0.0-0.pm.0
glibc-2.3.4-23.3
