They're not really relative to anything, and you should only use
absolute paths everywhere. It's just that chroot is set first before the
other paths are used, so they have a new root directory.

You actually can't really use %h for chroot. Otherwise you'll end up
having your home directory in /home/user/home/user. If you want to
chroot to home, you should return chroot=/home/%u and home=/.
