> While testing my SubRegions support in issue CLIMATE-6 i found that using a relative file path in the SUB_REGION config section (example below) was actually being broken due to a previous function changing to a different directory which breaks the relative path.
> [SUB_REGION]
> # Sub Region(s) Full File Path
> subRegionFile=../rcmes/resources/cordexSubRegions.txt
> After some investigation i found that db.extractData was doing some os.chdir commands to make output directories to write out the NetCDF cache files.
> The plan is to remove the change dir commands and use absolute paths instead to check and mkdirs as needed.
