Comment:

 I'm not sure that I agree that this is just a duplicate of #977 (backupdb
 should store which grid it is scoped to). What about the parts of
 {{{~/.tahoe}}} which don't have to do with backup at all? It is still
 confusing that the command

 {{{tahoe put --node-url=http://127.0.0.1:3456 --node-directory=~/.tahoe-
 volunteergrid MYFILE}}}

 will not use any of your configuration from your {{{~/.tahoe-
 volunteergrid}}} directory and indeed may not touch the grid you call
 "volunteergrid" at all.
