PFDSK being ignored?

[Fairlight]

Does the target of PFDSK -have- to be a separate, discrete  filesystem?

I ask, because...

I've been having troubles getting this PFDSK resolution to fix for spliting
code and data out.  In my debugging, I'm now discovering that
just...setting PFDSK to /var (for example) will not result in an error
about no filePro files, as I would expect it to.  It just happily looks
where PATHFILE is pointing, and isn't overridden.

I can't figure out why PFDSK is being ignored entirely right now.  My
understanding was that it would glue together PFDSKPFDATAPFDIR, in that
order, colons in PFDSK notwithstanding.

Anyone know what's going on that PFDSK is being ignored?
