We definitely need a solution, but I was thinking of something a little more
general for the services. Paths with a leading '/' are treated as absolute
paths whereas something without will be treated relative the application
root. This won't really affect anything but the general solution of
absolute/relative paths should be be resolved in fulcrum at the service
level. This require a bit of work in fulcrum.
