SFTP clients not sending sftp-server fill path

[MegaZone <meg...@me...>]

I believe I'm running into the same issue covered in this email from
last August:

 This is because rssh is expecting the sftp client to pass it the full
 path to the sftp-server.  What are you using on the client side?  If
 you're using the OpenSSH sftp client, it SHOULD do that.  But I guess
 there's no guarantee...
 
 I have run into this problem with certain clients, and I have fixed
 this in 2.1.2, which I haven't released yet.  I believe it's ready
 for
 release, but the reason I haven't released it yet is because I added
 code to allow cvs, rsync, and rdist, which I have not had time to
 test.

My log:

Jan 19 15:39:37 techsrvc rssh[4791]: user sftptest attempted to
execute forbidden commands
Jan 19 15:39:37 techsrvc rssh[4791]: command: sftpserv
Jan 19 15:39:39 techsrvc sshd(pam_unix)[4790]: session closed for user
sftptest

The server is Red Hat 8.0 with OpenSSH 3.4p1 with rssh 2.1.1 installed
from RPM.  The client is FreeBSD 4.8-Stable with OpenSSH 3.5p1 and
sftp 0.9.7.  It looks like the sftp client is just sending 'sftpserv'.

The real parh on my RH8 box is - /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

It does seem to be working OK from SecureFX on WinXP and from another
RH8.0 box.  So it would appear to be the client on FreeBSD.
