That is why I did the full path.  For example, when autopsy runs 
sorter, it is being run from the autopsy directory (or somewhere else 
if autopsy is in their path).

I guess it is time to make a real installation process for the tools 
and put them in a specific location.  The tools can also have 
configuration files in /etc/ or /usr/local/etc/ so that autopsy does 
not have to ask where TSK is and the autopsy config file will live 
between installations....
