 I've e-mailed you separately a pack that contains an example of such a
thing. You'll have to customize it for your system.

 It seems like the code could have something like 'wfcdir' in addition
to 'outdir'. If 'wfcdir' is not defined, it defaults to 'outdir'.
Then *.wfc files go to this 'wfcdir', together maybe with *.rho and
*.pot files. Once per geometry step PWSCF could copy *.rho and *.pot
from 'wfcdir' to 'outdir'. This way the NFS traffic is minimized, and
there is always a consistent set of files in 'outdir' useful for
restarting the calculation.
