There may be problems when you change the installed path /opt to /lcg with
configuration pointing at the wrong place.

I would suggest either symlinking /opt/globus to /lcg/globus or just mounting
/opt/globus explicitly.

The following final headache to do solve is having the clients find
/etc/grid-security/certificates which you can do by setting the the appropriate
env to the correct path and mouting into that path.
