datm strm_datadir path inconsistency

[quantheory]

From Bugzilla:

http://bugs.cgd.ucar.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2028

https://svn-ccsm-models.cgd.ucar.edu/datm7/trunk_tags/datm8_140723/bld/namelist_files/namelist_defaults_datm.xml

All the supported CLM1PT paths looking something like:

atm/datm7/CLM1PT_data/NAME

See:

<strm_datdir stream="CLM1PT.1x1_mexicocityMEX">$DIN_LOC_ROOT/atm/datm7/CLM1PT_data/mexicocityMEX.c080124</strm_datdir>

<strm_datdir stream="CLM1PT.1x1_vancouverCAN">$DIN_LOC_ROOT/atm/datm7/CLM1PT_data/vancouverCAN.c080124 </strm_datdir>

<strm_datdir stream="CLM1PT.1x1_urbanc_alpha">$DIN_LOC_ROOT/atm/datm7/CLM1PT_data/urbanc_alpha.c080416 </strm_datdir>

But the path when CLM_USRDAT_NAME (PTCLM or manually) is inconsistent:

CLMFORC/NAME/CLM1PT_data

See:

<strm_datdir stream="CLM1PT.CLM_USRDAT">$DIN_LOC_ROOT_CLMFORC/$CLM_USRDAT_NAME/CLM1PT_data</strm_datdir>

This inconsistency is a bit confusing to users who are looking at the cesm input data as an example to build point data manually. It would be better to have everything be consistent. It probably makes the most sense to adopt the PTCLM/CLM_USRDAT for the predefined cases.

@ekluzek and @bandre-ucar - should this be fixed for cesm2?

Closing this old issue; I'm not sure if it has been fixed. Feel free to reopen in ESMCI/cime if necessary.
