what is the Firefly version you are using?

Firefly versions 7.1.G and below interpret relative paths as
the paths relative to the folder where the Firefly binaries reside.

Firefly version 8.0.0 and up interprets relative paths as relative
to the Firefly's initial working directory.

With Firefly versions 7.1.G and below you may encounter the problem
you have described. The workaround is to use absolute paths.
The better workaround is to upgrade to Firefly v. 8.0.0

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
