I found the following features in burtrb:

usage: burtrb -f req1 {req2 ...} {-l logfile} {-o outfile} {-d} {-v}
                {-c ... comments ...} {-k keyword1 ... keywordn}
                {-r retry count} {-sdds or -nosdds} {-Dname{=def}}
                {-Ipathname}
where

        -f req1 {req2 ...} - Request filenames. This is the only switch
                that is not optional.  You must specify at least one request
                file.

Using burtrb from within a directory scecifying just file.req always 
crashes burt.

Since I did not believe that we did have some crab in the distribution I used
the burtgooey and had no problems ;-)

Looking at the command beeing executed I saw that the absolute file (including
the directory path) was used. Typing this in:

burtrb -f /dir/dir1/dir2/file.req works!

Well - since not all of us use the gooey ... there's room for improvements.
