That's correct (your initial mail is still there, pending for a
reply). The real solution however (the one I thought would work), is
to have rel path relative to the result of httpd::getAuthDirectory,
which itself will default to getConfigDirectory()/auth, which
ultimately will end up in

config/auth

The semantics of rel path may change to that (hopefully in next
release).
