The changes were checked out in the common MP area under CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl1, CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl2 and CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl3. As MSSDIR you have to provide e.g. to mps_setup.pl something like /store/caf/user/jbehr/MPproduction/mp0827 and MSSDIRPOOL has to be cmscafuser. Currently, only with the latter option MPS will work.
