Hi Ben,
Relative paths are supported, but they are resolved against the working directory of your server instance (not the client instance, as you might expect).
Note also, the Content not allowed in prolog message is produced by the default Java XML parser (and maybe others) if it encounters whitespace or anything other than <?xml or <!DOCTYPE or < followed by a name character at the start of the document. This can include an empty file, so th message can mean the file wasn't found. In some configurations, error messages can get sent to the parser by mistake, instead of to standard error or raising an exception, and of course those error messages are then parsed as XML and the parser gives this error.
This was one of the hardest things about using (at least early versions of) Calabash, the XProc processor.
On Linux you can also use strace to trace the BaseX server - attach to the running process and trace the "openat" and "stat" system calls - and this will show where it’s looking. Use dtrace on the Mac (or on Solaris), i think.
