Here is how it works.

Server1
/appl

Server2
/var/appl
/var2/appl


PFDSK=/:/var:/var2

It does not want to see the same key file in more than one of these 
folders in the same filename.

You have to be sure they do not overlap.  Fix PFDSK to just list /var2 
when you want to only see the stuff on /var2.  Or put them under another 
folder like this:

Server1
/appl

Server2
/var/appl
/var2/appltest

It will never include /var2/appltest in the search with /appl or /var/appl.

Since you did not include more details this is the best I can do.
