This was user error.  When you create the index pointing to a specific
directory you have to use the same directory when creating the html.

For example, I created an index at /cluster/scratch.  I then tried to run agedu
with the --html flag thinking it was going to write the html to that directory.
 Instead I had to run it with the --html flag pointed to /cluster/scratch. 
When I did this it dumps the html to stdout.  I then ran again and redirected
it to a file where I needed it stored.

Great program!  Two enhancements I'd love.
1).  Dump the entire HTML tree so that you don't loose the drill down
capability you get with the interactive "-w" flag.
2).  Create an index that doesn't have to be removed every time you need
updated data.  Something similar to the way rsync only updates necessary
changes.  As it stands now recreating on a multi terabyte filesystem daily is
very time consuming.

Thanks again to the author.  Please include this in future RHEL releases!
