Whoa, talk about a long time between replies! :) If you go into Clementine's preferences, Behavior, look for "When saving a playlist, file paths should be:" and change this to Absolute. Relative paths give the paths that you provided as an example (../../../Users/soundmachine). Absolute will instead use the full path (/Users/soundmachine/Music).
Relative paths work well if you always start at a base path, e.g. your directory tree starts at /music and everything is located in directories underneath. My config on my linux box has my music drive mounted at /music. If I used relative playlists, assuming that the playlists are in that main directory - a pathname would be "BlackKeys/thickfreakness".
