embossdata bug?

[Martín Sarachu]

Hi EMBOSSers,

I could not retrieve a file under the PRINTS directory with embossdata, tough 
the example worked ok.
Here are the steps I followed:

1) the example in embossdata docs (tfm) works ok

> $ embossdata -filename EPAM60
> Finds or fetches the data files read in by the EMBOSS programs
> # The following directories can contain EMBOSS data files.
> # They are searched in the following order until the file is found.
> # If the directory does not exist, then this is noted below.
> # '.' is the UNIX name for your current working directory.
> 
> File ./EPAM60                                                     Exists
> File .embossdata/EPAM60                                           Does not exist
> File /root/EPAM60                                                 Does not exist
> File /root/.embossdata/EPAM60                                     Does not exist
> File /usr/local/emboss/share/EMBOSS/data/EPAM60                   Exists

> $ embossdata -fetch -filename EPAM60
> Finds or fetches the data files read in by the EMBOSS programs
> File '/usr/local/emboss/share/EMBOSS/data/EPAM60' has been copied successfully.


2) but trying to fetch a PRINTS file fails
