DSE Chooses odd working directory

Does anyone know where DSE gets it's working directory from? I have two machines, FM18 and FM19. FM19 is set as a slave and appears to run fine - I started it in its own directory on the local drive - no problems. But DSE has been launched from quartus (from the tools -> DSE menu) where the project is checked out on FM18's local drive. But the working directory appears to be on a network drive, in an area I used a while ago. I cannot find any reference to this "working area" in the qsf file, or any other files in the project directory. I also cannot find any settings in the DSE gui to change the working directory.

So, anyone got any clues for me? removing this working directory doesnt help - DSE just creates it again. I would rather DSE ran on the local drive rather than working out of a network drive.

    Aha - think I found the problem

    There appears to be a QSlave session running on the same machine that I started in that working directory (I did wonder why it was running 6 jobs locally when I set the local gui to 4)
