Bug Description

I ran into this weird situation with abcde:

When I set OUTPUTDIR to /media/ida/music/flac, a directory '/media/ida/music/flac/flac' is created and files go there.
When I set OUTPUTDIR to /media/ida/music, the files go to /media/ida/music.

So on the first case abcde creates an extra directory 'flac' into the OUTPUTDIR I’ve set and puts the files there.

So far I’ve found only this ugly workaround for the situation: $ cd /media/ida/music/flac && ln -s . flac.

Some more or less relevant information:
