Interestingly, it was related to this, but there is another facet that I 
don't understand.

First, line 550 of "tool/run/run" still contained a "which" command, 
which I changed to:

   if { [catch {set path [exec command -v $command]}] == 0} {

Running "command -v e2mkdir" gives "/usr/bin/e2mkdir", so I expected 
this change to fix the problem, but it didn't.

Changing line 554 of the same file to manually look in "/usr/bin" did work:

   set dir { /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin }

I don't know why the second change is necessary, but it works, so I'm 
not complaining. :^)

  Thanks again!
