In build.xml, metacat administrator can specify a absolute path for storing
data file. The property name is datafilepath. During the installation, Metacat
can automaticlly create this directory.

Here is the testing:

Using morpho, new data file can be create in data file directroy. The the data
file can be access by read and export.

The data file can be force and delt T replication too.

An old data file was move to the new data directory. The file can be read and
export too.
