I didn't follow the details about the VMS path. Was there a reason you
need to change directory BEFORE the file is opened? Are you aware that
there is a command that will change Vim's current directory to that of
the current file? And an option that will always do that.

 :cd %:p:h
 :set autochdir
 :help filename-modifiers
 :help 'autochdir'
