#29 Whitespace trimmed at end of directory name
Filedrawers does not give an error message when it is unable to access a directory because the "x" execute bit is not set. Instead, it simply redirects the user to his/her top level directory. We should add an error message and keep the user in the last working directory.

Update--here is what is really happening: Input whitespace trimming was added so that filedrawers could access a directory using the Location bar even if a user accidently added a space at the end of the path. Unfortunately, white spaces can be legitimate characters at the end of a directory name. Therefore, we probably shouldn't trim the white spaces after all.
