Why is this a good thing?  Your commit message is rather terse.

p.
It reduces the size of /etc/volatile.cache.
Otherwise for example if you have ROOT_DIR=/, TNAME=/var/log, TNAME
becomes ///var/log.

Also if you have verbose mode enabled it actually prints out the extra
unnecessary leading slashes.
How many bytes does it actually save on a typical system?  Is this worth
the overhead of forking an extra 2 processes for every line in the
file?

Would it not be better fixed by requiring TNAME to start with a slash
(which it probably does already), ROOT_DIR to not end with a slash, and
just dropping the intermediate separator?

p.
That does sound like a better solution, let's go with that.

Jonathan
