log4j.appender.DISSLog.File=diss.log
That's the culprit. Notice that you simply specified the log file name. This is written out, as you've discovered, to a location relative to the directory where the JVM started. Try using something like...
log4j.appender.DISSLog.File=C:\logs\diss.log
...or you can set a system property and reference that...
log4j.appender.DISSLog.File=${logfilelocation}/diss.log
I think that that works in property files? I know it works in XML config files.
