Thanks for the bug report! The problem was that darcs always sets the
current directory to be the root of the repository before doing anything
else.  It then needs to make sure to correct all relative file paths from
the command-line input, and I didn't think to tell it that the --logfile
flag was a file path that might need correcting.
