This use of TESTDIR is highly confusing. When I see TESTDIR I think
that it's the mount point of the test device, not potentially some
directory on the scratch device.

I see that this occurs through lots of tests, not just these new
ones. Can you do a pass across the tests with, say, sed and rename
all these to something less confusing? e.g. "testdir", in lower
case, makes it clear that it's a local variable, not the global test
device mount point.... (i.e. test local variables are lower case,
exported test harnes variables are upper case ;)

Separate patch/pull req is fine.

Cheers,

dave.
