That's an excellent idea, but it won't work.  You'll have to do it the
way I described until someone modifies the path handling to support
local files.  As it stands it will always prepend the data dir to
whatever you supply, even if it starts with a leading /.

Yes, I already fixed a bug in that.  But I don't call it directly by
a long shot.  Intervening library functions add the path component.
