OK, good suggestions. I have done this, and the output was as follows:

os.getcwd() = /big/dom/xdomain/cgi-bin/qa_auth
dirname = /


cwd looks correct, as that is the directory wherein the cgi file is 
stored for the main app file.

I am using the SessionFileAppMixin and there is no place to specify 
an alternate directory for the template files (or at least there 
wasn't in the previous version).

My class definition and __init__ is as follows:

class qaApp(PickleSignMixin,
              Application,
              TemplateLoaderMixin,
              RandomPageModuleMixin,
              SessionFileAppMixin):

    def __init__(self, base_url = 'mgr.py',
                   page_path = '.',
                   start_page = 'login',
                   secret = '-=-secret-=-',
                   session_appid = 'questadmin',
                   session_dir = './sessions'):
        Application.__init__(self, base_url)
        PickleSignMixin.__init__(self, secret)
        TemplateLoaderMixin.__init__(self, page_path)
        RandomPageModuleMixin.__init__(self, page_path, start_page)
        SessionFileAppMixin.__init__(self, session_appid, session_dir)

Ah, actually I do see, there is a "page_path" and it is correct. The 
pages are all in the same directory with the main app file.

K, so nothing looks wrong to me here. :/
