Unfortunately I can confirm this bug on Linux, IRIX and Solaris.
It goes wrong at the ../../.. stage (../.. is ok).

Can you use file_expand_path()? This seems to do relative paths ok.

E.g. on my system :

IDL> print,file_test('../../../../data/nmw')
0

IDL> print,file_test(file_expand_path('../../../../data')+'/nmw')
1
