They are now. :)

Since they're relative pathnames, there shouldn't be any problem with
that.  That is, there's nothing you can express in a relative path
name on VMS that you couldn't also express in a relative Unix path
name.  As opposed to absolute paths, where you get into issues like
volumes.

Could you add in a MANIFEST section like MANIFEST.SKIP has that
clearly outlines the format of the MANIFEST file?

I'll give it a shot tonite.
