nTuple work directory: a backup of the work directory--source code-- used to generate ntuples that were the basis for the calibration
RHIC QA work directory: a backup of the QA directory--source code-- used to apply calibrations to mudsts and generate histograms to check the validity of the calibrations
Rice QA work directories: HPSS:/home/sbutter/CalibrationsQA/checkCalibrations.tar; this is a collection of working directories where the calibrations would be QA'd before plugging into rcf machinery.
