Clint, I believe that "Local" will try to write output to the $cwd, ...eg the directory that you launch nmap (or ntl) from. So, it might be that the student account configuration is launching from somewhere otther than HOME? In $GEMTBL/nmap/vgf.tbl are configurations for directory categories. You can use environmental variables in there. It might be useful to define a VGF_WORK or something that goes to $HOME/vgf or the sort making sure that HOME is defined either in the user environment (or a check in Gemenviron to set it if it isn't set). Let me know if $cwd isn't the users home directory.
