I have a feeling that you expected the relative path to be assisted by the fuller path that gets put into the directory instvar during initialization. But I don't think the example instructions you've provided do that. They clobber whatever's in the directory instvar and leave it with only a relative path. That seems to be why I was getting errors.

Thanks for testing! It did work on my system (Mac OS X, Pharo 1.1), but maybe I introduced something non-portable here. Now that I think of it, does a slash separated path work on all platforms ? Probably not. Maybe the only portable way to do it is compose FileDirectory objects like you did.
