You could convert the session name as well as each user-supplied file
name specified (wordlist file name, file name with password hashes) into
an absolute name, and run

/path/to/john /home/user/<subdir>/pw
--session=/home/user/<another_subdir/session-name
--wordlist=/home/user/<dir>/wordlistfile

This should work, shouldn't it?
