I ran across something vaguely similar developing a server to run as a 
service.  What I found out whas that win32serviceutil runs the server in 
its own directory, rather than the Python script's directory; my server 
looks for files in its own directory.  I wound up using a registry 
setting to record the directory, and having the server use it to do a chdir.

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but FWIW...
