[Rivet] Agile can't find generators

Hi,
I've just moved to the new agile 1.2.2 but it can't seem to find my 
locally installed generators.

I've installed alpge, pythia, herwig, and set AGILE_GEN_PATH, eg:

 > ls $AGILE_GEN_PATH
agile-genser-bootstrap* alpgen/  downloads/  herwig/  jimmy/  pythia6/

and:
$AGILE_GEN_PATH/pythia6/425.2/x86_64-Linux-gcc44-opt

seems to contain all the right stuff. But:

 > agile-runmc  -l TRACE

AGILe.Loader: TRACE  Trying to find libs for AlpGenHerwig:HEAD:HEAD

AGILe.Loader: TRACE  Didn't find herwig:HEAD:libherwig


(repeated for all other generators).

So it seems to only be looking for the cern afs area... Haven't looked 
too deeply into the code, but wondered if someone had an idea of the 
problem. With previous versions and installs I've had issues with 
LCG_TAG not be correctly set, but that does not seem to be the case here.

cheers,
	Gavin
