You need to give the full path if you are in the notebook. If you strongly need to not to give the full path you could run the command $mkdir (where your files are)/sagenotebook $sage -notebook directory="Where your files are/sagenotebook"
The disadvantage is that this will create another server, and you won't be able to see the worksheets you had in .sage/notebook this was the discussion in http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/37795251481402a1/552ac0654c85f4ec?lnk=gst&q=attach#552ac0654c85f4ec This kind of behaviour is the reason for the ticket in http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5169 Hope this helps -Adrian.
