You cannot access file in the "Extension" folders with bare (relative)
names. This has nothing to do with Zope but with you OS:

       Relative file names are resolved with respect to the "current working
       directory".
       There are operating system commands to change it (which are
       unsafe in a multi-threaded environment (like Zope)!).

       Zope will use them only (if at all) during startup,
       before threads are started. It cannot follow the various
       extension folders.
