`src/SubmitDatasetHandler/cgi-bin/SubmitDatasetConfirmationHandler.py` doesn't check permissions on the directory to be packaged and sent to DataBank. It is fairly trivial to use something like Firebug to edit the path to be packaged.

This would lead to a user being able to access other users' private files by submitting them to a repository and then retrieving them from there.
