Well, one thing to keep in mind is that the -UseDagDir feature is not
implemented in the 6.6 series.

You can do what you want in 6.6., but you'll have to set up the
paths in your submit files differently.  For example, the
param[n]/simulation.submit file could use 'initialdir = param[n]'.
Using -UseDagDir (with 6.7.x or 6.8.0) lets you avoid having to do
anything special in the individual submit files.
