Hi, and first of all sorry for the delay (I do not have much free time
in my new job) and hope that my answer below satisfies you.

First bug. The directory list was actually translated, but due to a
typo, it got discarded.

There was a missing "else" in the C code. :BACK now works as expected.
I added several tests in the test suite for that (bugs/cl-001.lsp)

There was a bug when interpreting the output of the lisp function
MISMATCH. When the directories were completely equal, no
simplification occurred, which is wrong. I fixed this and added more
tests.

Thanks to you, indeed!
