[Halld-offline] Gluex osg production environment ready for testing

[Richard Jones]

Hello Mark and all,

Can I suggest that all osg grid work on scosg16 be done from a work area
you set up for yourself on /osgpool/halld/USERID? This is dedicated storage
for grid work, and using it will help us avoid the idiosyncrasies of the
lustre environment.
