It was my understanding that the raster config file is parsed by FDO, which has no understanding of MapGuide aliases, but based on user request the ability to do this was added to Maestro:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/1664 Perhaps maestro needs to substitute the value of the path alias (if that can be determined via the API) into the config file?
