> DFS converts relative pathnames to be under /user/$USER.  But MapReduce jobs may be submitted by a different user than is running the jobtracker and tasktracker.  Thus relative paths must be resolved before a job is submitted, so that only absolute paths are seen on the job tracker and tasktracker.  I think the simplest way to fix this is to make JobConf.setInputDir(), setOutputDir(), etc. resolve relative pathnames.
