The tests-security-manager fails to run when there are symlinks within the jboss.dist path.

BUILD FAILED
/qa/services/hudson/eap5-as/jboss-5.0.0-src/testsuite/build.xml:1640: Error starting server "securitymgr": Server failed to start in time; see logs.

The real path is /qa/services/hudson, but the often used symlink is /home/hudson with which it doesn't work. When I use the real path it works and there is no problem.
