When post_read is called, post_read is called prior to moving files.  The above 
variables which define the final destination or folder location are only 
defined during and after moving the files.  (ie.  do_move)

And as such, if people really want to call cdrdao as the abcde.conf post_read 
comments state and appropriately use the $OUTPUTFILEDIR variable or save to the 
final destination folder, then there should be another post_move function 
declared after this do_move or after these variables are defined!

I will try submitting a patch for this to the abcde google code bug tracker 
when I get more time, and after testing.


At line 3121:
# post_move
# Empty post_read function, to be defined in the configuration file.
post_read ()
{
:
}


At line 4422:
++ # Execute the user-defined post_move function after defining destination 
folder
++ # variables
++ post_move
