Hmm.. from test-lib.sh:

TEST_DIRECTORY=$(pwd) test="trash directory.$(basename "$0" .sh)" TRASH_DIRECTORY="$TEST_DIRECTORY/$test"

I'm just curious how these lines make $TRASH_DIRECTORY in POSIX format, while
here=$(pwd)

in your patch does not. Does bash auto convert value in TRASH_DIRECTORY="$TE..." line?
