[support] pathauto, block menu generating wrong path

[Christopher M. Jones]

Thanks. This worked as a quick fix, but it isn't a long term fix. These 
menu items were added via the menu options in the node edit form. That 
should work without my having to go back into the menu and add a /. 
Moreover, the url alias is not being used and needs to be. Any ideas 
what the underlying problem could be?
