If you need back slashes in your full path, then you'd probably need them in
your relative path. Maybe this instead...
...\..\..\mydomain
...but It looks like you might be trying to go back too far. Since your system's
root is at "c:\" it looks like you only need to go back two directories instead
of three. You probably be better off using the complete path instead.
