Hi Adam,

I would suggest you create a very simple case to see if you can repeat this 
problem. The relative path in general
is pointing to the folder relative to where the bundle is located. Even if your 
data is in the same folder, you can
use the relative paths to save the bundle. When the bundle moved to another 
folder or machine, as long as the data
is in the same location, the bundle should find the data. If this is not the 
case, send me the bundle and data.
