The directory used for resolving relative paths will be the CWD setting
when you start the JVM.  What that is set to depends on how you start the
program, which is obviously system-specific.  Since you start it from a
script, you should be able to do a 'cd' in the script to the directory
that you want to be the base directory for resolving relative paths.
