This is now getting a bit too advanced.

grid://groups/nz/nesi is a virtual directory. Also it is remote. Virtual directories don't behave like real ones, for example you can't delete them, you might not even be able to create a file in it, it has childs that are either real or virtual.

Lots of things to consider and a lot of work to do to implement that in a foolproof way. I'd prefer if we could just say that something like this is not supported atm unless there is a very good reason why we need to have that.

Sure that makes sense, will make a note of it in the docs.
