Hmmm... I see now that it's the current DB that is confusing you. And rightly so. Adding differences between your development folder and your app folder is a big no no in my book. The Components folder is the breaker here. My suggestion would be not to use a data folder for the time being. It won't be long and you'll have a new DB which will transfer your relative paths properly.
