That's because your paths were already relative to another directory.

Without viewing your code, I don't know how you are constructing your
paths, but ideally you always want to know where you are in the
hierarchy at any time. If you do, then you don't really need to go
back to the root after every file operation. In any case, you should
be able to go back to the root by issuing CWD('/').
From what I understand, you want to download all the files in the
server, and you are building a list of files to give to a second
process that will download them. Is this second process traversing the
directories to download the files, or just using GET with the full path
of each file without changing directories?
If it is just GETting the files from where it is, then you must ensure
that each filepath you store is either absolute from the root, or
relative to the home directory (which could be different, as Francois
pointed out).
