VFS Exception:Could not list the contents of "/pages" because it is not a folder

In my webapp when i start the server and request a page, i get the following 
error:
org.jpublish.servlet.JPublishServlet  - Error rendering page: Could not list 
the contents of "/pages" because it is not a folder.

What i think is happening is that somewhere the vfs is thinking that when it 
asks for the /pages directory, it will be relative to the webapp root, 
however, when deploying on sun one web server 6.0/iplanet, i'm guessing the 
server thinks it wants the root of the server, or the filesystem. so it's 
bombing out on "/pages"

I've been digging through the jpublish source trying to find where this is 
happening so i can patch it, but i've yet to find the answer. Does anyone 
know of a workaround, or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Duane

Can anyone intimately familiar with the innards of jpublish give me some 
guidance? details below:
