as I explained in the other email, the difference is the base path
specified for both daemon and other commands

I made other changes showing line for daemon process itself
with base path:

$ sudo /opt/perf/bin/perf daemon
[690174:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
[690175:top] perf record -e cycles --switch-output=1m --switch-max-files=6 -a

$ sudo /opt/perf/bin/perf daemon -v
[690174:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
output: /opt/perfdata/output
lock: /opt/perfdata/lock
up: 268 minutes
[690175:top] perf record -e cycles --switch-output=1m --switch-max-files=6 -a
base: /opt/perfdata/top
output: /opt/perfdata/top/output
control: /opt/perfdata/top/control
ack: /opt/perfdata/top/ack
up: 268 minutes
