If you try to redirect log file directories specified in localOverrides.conf by
setting the variables:

$webworkDirs{logs}
$courseDirs{logs}

Then stuff breaks. Specifically:

• in lib/WeBWorK/Utils.pm, writeLog and writeCourseLog check if the root path
  exists.

• In addcourse, if $courseDirs requires creating a parent directory, you will
  instead get a very confusing error message indication that there is a
  permission problem.
