'cd' is a shell command, so it won't work without a shell (which you specify 
by using the list notation for the command).

To make it work, execute the command in a shell. However, that would probably 
not do what you want.
If you use a shell in the above command, you would start a new shell (in a new 
process), do a 'cd' inside that shell, and exit the shell.

In particular, the working directory of the current slave process is not 
affected by the command.


Instead of the cd command, you may want to investigate the 'work_dir=' 
parameter of the step (iirc).
