Maybe not.  Wine uses the unix current directory if it is mapped on a
windows drive, or [wine] "Windows" =  from ~/.wine/config if it is not.
Tried doing a cd to the directory you are running the app from before
starting wine?  LoadLibrary type calls will look there whether it is the
current directory or not, but I don't think file operations will.
Why don't you show us some output that makes you think this information
is being munged?

is often a good starting point, but if you post the whole logfile,
please gzip it.  If you select what you think is relevant, best leave a
hundred or more lines of context before and after.
