It can be confusing if you pass in a wrong path combined with a wrong suite/subsuite designation, especially on one-click loaners (the build system TestResolver normally handles edge cases like this when running locally).

The mochitest harness should make it very clear what went wrong and why. We'll want to print a list of absolute paths that tests were searched for in, as well as the active flavor and subsuite. It should also recommend how to fix it (i.e by passing in --flavor).
