You are using the redirector: "It is actually located in /var/lib/DOSEmu, which is its own 2GB Ext2 (actually Ext3) filesystem. " this means that DOS in DOSEMU sees it as a network drive and uses the redirector. If a DOS program does an open() via INT21/AH=3D then this is translated by the DOS to INT2F/AX=1116 which is intercepted by DOSEMU. DOSEMU then uses Linux open(2) to open the file. If you don't use the redirector you use an hdimage or direct partition access (which you should not normally need to use).
