According to your logs, the current working directory at the time that the file path is constructed is different.
Since the source path is relative, this produces different results. Assuming you know where "Game 1.xwg" really is, why not construct an absolute path to begin with? -- Kostya 2011/6/5 eehouse <[email protected]> > Thanks for the suggestion.
