update: I thought some sample output would be helpful. 

Wed Jul  4 04:43:02 2001-> DEBUG at 266 : Request main::send
Map does not exist! -> /services/qw/fortress/maps/2fort5.bsp

[download]
That came from the code mentioned in my first post. However, here is the fs image:

[qadmin@concon logs]$ ls -l ~/fortress/maps/2fort5.bsp
-rw-r--r--   1 qadmin   qadmin     922568 Jun 29  2000 /services/qw/fo
+rtress/maps/2fort5.bsp
[qadmin@concon logs]$ ls -ld ~/fortress/maps/
drwxr-xr-x   2 qadmin   qadmin       2048 Apr 12 22:37 /services/qw/fo
+rtress/maps/

[download]

and to break it down: 

$HOME = /services/qw 
$gamedir = /fortress 
maps = manually placed
2fort5 is from parent function
.bsp is manually placed
