Others have posted the solution, but to clear up your assumption, extra 
slashes are fine in Unix. Try:

 	touch //////var//////tmp//////foo
 	rm //////var//////tmp//////foo

Whenever asked to specify a directory or a path, I always end with a slash 
so my intention is obvious. When applications concatenate path 
fragments, some add slashes and some don't but extra slashes don't cause a 
problem.

Unfortunately, some applications complain when you include the trailing 
slash. I consider that a bug.

Thanks in advance,
