I'm afraid I incorrectly assessed the problem.
In creating a test case, I found that the "-R" argument seems to be
working, but the type of file to which the path points seems to be
inspected in some manner (for executability, among perhaps other
things). If the file does not have the executable permission set on
it, the test will fail with a "missing cupsFilter file:" message, and
the output didn't list the path that was used in the search.
I filed STR #3363 for this, with an example to demonstrate the problem.
