Yuck. So I have to change directories before opening an add-cow image
in order to interpret it the same way as the creator? You really need
to fix this to be like qcow2 backing files; relative path names there
are interpreted relative to the qcow2 file, not to the current working
directory of the process that opened the qcow2 file.
