You don't need to use absolute paths, but you must take care that your relative paths are converted correctly to absolute paths. Your Lisp's CL:*DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* influences this conversion. In your relative path example you're probably just seeing an empty database, i.e. not the same database as the one you have worked with before to create the instances. If you still need help then please give a full example that we can reproduce.
