Look in libexec/vdl-int.k:

element(initSharedDir, [rhost]
  once(list(rhost, "shared")
   ...
   dir:make(sharedDir, host=rhost)
   transfer(srcdir="{vds.home}/libexec/", srcfile="wrapper.sh",
destdir=sharedDir, desthost=rhost)
   transfer(srcdir="{vds.home}/libexec/", srcfile="seq.sh",
destdir=sharedDir, desthost=rhost)
   dir:make(dircat(wfdir, "kickstart"), host=rhost)
   dir:make(dircat(wfdir, "status"), host=rhost)
   dir:make(dircat(wfdir, "info"), host=rhost)
   ...
  )
)

So it makes the main directory, transfers wrapper.sh and seq.sh, and
creates the kickstart, status, and info sub-directories.
