As it says above, the full path to the user job is passed to your job 
wrapper on the command line.  Your job wrapper doesn't need to worry 
about finding the dynamically created subdirectory, since that 
subdirectory will be included as the basename in the "full-path to the 
actual user job" which is passed to your job wrapper.  Did that help 
clarify?  If not, then I am not understanding your question...
