+== srmmkdir ==
+The ''srmmkdir'' command is not symmetric. It is not possible to use it to create a directory on a local disk.
+<code>
+$ srmmkdir file:///`pwd`/foo/
+Wed Nov 24 09:24:56 CET 2010: illegal source url for multiple sources modefile:////home/lfrsgm01/foo/
+srm client error:
+java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal source url for multiple sources modefile:////home/lfrsgm01/foo/
+</code>
+This is unfortunate, because it makes testing of scripts on a local system more difficult. Simply changing the URI from ''%%srm://%%'' to ''%%file:///%%'' doesn't work.
+== srmls ==
+The ''srmls'' command does not support wildcards. This is quite irritating, because you have to do the filtering on the client side using ''grep''. For example, to get a list of all the ''L2009_*.tar'' files in the directory ''/data/lofar/lotest/disk/'', you would have to use:
+<code>
+$ srmls srm://srm.grid.sara.nl:8443/pnfs/grid.sara.nl/data/lofar/lotest/disk/ | grep '/L2009_[^/]*\.tar'
+</code>
+This, however, will not always give you a complete list, because storage systems like dCache limit the number of listed files to 1000. So, if you have more than 1000 files in a directory, you'll have to use ''srmls'' multiple times in conjunction with the options ''-offset='' and ''-count=''. Very inconvenient!
