Comment (by eschnett):

 Using C++ exceptions should be fine. You may want to check that they are
 supported (by the compiler, and by Simfactory's options) on the relevant
 systems; some HPC systems are quite weird (e.g. Blue Gene/P does not
 support symbolic links).

 (I would have added a "#include <cctk.h>", and then called CCTK_WARN to
 abort.)

 Your patch disables a "rm -rf", probably unintentionally.

 The patch is fine, please apply.
