[colug-432] show path stuff

[Jeff Frontz]

That's tricky, right?  The parent of a given directory might not actually
be the same as dirname(1) on the path used to get to the directory (what
with symbolic links and -- at least at one time on certain filesystems --
the potential of a directory entry being present in multiple parent
directories).
