I would propose to handle this like any other ftp client I know of. if
you type "cd .." at your ftp jail or the root directory then the command
retruns just fine, but the directory is not changed at all. So there is
no need the determine if you are jailed or not, if the jail is a "real"
jail.
I will try to fix this issue, but I wanted to ask on the list first, to
be sure I did not misunderstand the current directory handling of gollem
and because I believe that fixing this would require to add new methods
to Horde::VFS (eg. somthing like pwd()).
