If the parameter of your setX() is File, you will get the absolute path to it. If it is String you will get the value as you pass it, uninterpreted.
You need to pass the correct type.
This works for my own task, but I want to support a nested FileSet (and use <apply><mapper/></apply> in the other case). At the moment it looks like I'm going to have to duplicate (not simply extend, because setX(File) and setX(String) can't coexist) Apply and FileSet to get the desired behaviour.
I've thought about "fixing" the core to produce relative paths, and adding a boolean attribute (relative="true|false"?) at appropriate points to describe the way this is handled, but I doubt anyone is comfortable with modifying the code this fundamentally.
