  relative path in Output_File_Name (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

I was using the following path in POV 3.6 without any problem, but it does not
work with 3.7 saying :
-
IO Restrictions prohibit write access to 'rendered_seq\mirror001.png'
Render failed
-

Output_File_Name="rendered_seq/mirror.png"

Am I doing something wrong ?
Is it a working directory related problem ?

Have you read :

Please report your OS.

1. you are not doing anything wrong, it blocks you as intended.
2. If you did not grant more permissions (see url), you have write
access to the current directory, but not anything below.

For Unix, you need wildcard to grand subdirectories
(as "read+write*=." instead of "read+write=." )
