Oh, the ending "/" problem. OpenCms always expects folder names to end
with a "/" so this is why the export path must end with a "/" as well.
If this is done wrong in the cmssetup.txt I will change that for the
next build.
Its a bit confusing, I must admidt, I guess we should fix this bug (or
is it a feature ?) soon.
