Under Unix, CD does not affect the working directory of the process that

Check that there isn't a blank character in your subdirectory string. For
example use
strtrim(subdirectory,1)

Also if its a subdirectory of the current directory (ie relative path) check
that you have not place " / "
at the beginning of your path.
