That issue seems to have gone away now, but there was another issue,
which turned out to be the elglob in run-vmm.  The relevant glob here is
*/config/providers/net/*.  If the first * matches something, but
config/providers/net does not exist below it, globbing fails.  This is
not what we want.  So we can only make this change in situations where
we'll never have a non-existent prefix of the glob path.
