hmm... seems like expected behaviour to me.  gvim's 'current directory' is the 
directory where it is run from, not the directory of the file edited.  e.g. if 
you run "gvim ~/myfolder/myfile.tex" from your home dir, vim's current dir will 
be your home, not ~/myfolder.
>From within gvim, you can use :pwd to display the current directory, and :cd 
>~/myfolder to change it.

A possible solution to your problem is too add this to your .vimrc:
autocmd BufRead * cd %:p:h
It will automatically change the current directory to the one of the file read 
when you open a file (it can be a bit irritating because it does it for all 
files, including helpfiles...) so you can use that if you prefer:
autocmd BufRead *.tex cd %:p:h
