The best way to resolve this is to pre-load the schemas as shown in the 
'caching' example in the examples/cxx/tree/ directory. This way you can
specify absolute paths to the schema files. The added advantage of this
approach is that you can re-use the schemas for validating more than one
document.

There is also a way to pre-compile the schema and embed them directly into
the application. For more information on how to do this see the 'embedded'
example which can get here:
