Dear Evan, you need to setup an environment variable for the tool to specify the directory where users are expected to save their files. One way to do that is:
1) create a directory called EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX in your tool dependencies directory (which by default is `database/dependencies/` ) 2) in this directory create a file called env.sh with a content similar to the following template:
EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX=/PATH/WHERE/TO/SAVE/FILES; export EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX
3) create a symlink called `default` inside the EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX directory pointing to the same directory, e.g.:
$ cd TOOL_DEPENDENCIES_DIR/EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX/ $ ln -s . default
Alternatively, you could define the EXPORT_DIR_PREFIX environment variable in your config/job_conf.xml for the destination where the export_to_cluster tool is going to run (for an example, see `_JAVA_OPTIONS` in config/job_conf.xml.sample_advanced ), but this would define the environment variable also for all the other tools that use that destination (normally not a problem, but worth to mention).
Cheers, Nicola

Good afternoon,
Thank you for the information, due to the way our cluster storage is setup I just ended up editing the script to not use that variable as a check and adding a line to the tool xml that tells users to input only a certain directory in their home directory otherwise it will not work.
