Are you by chance setting the defaultFolder anywhere in any or your  
stacks? The default setting of that property that will change  
depending upon whether you're in the IDE or standalone or launching  
from a stack runner. Another possibility for the standalone: did you  
check the "Move substacks to individual stackfiles" box in the Stacks  
pane of the standalone builder?

These are off the top of my head, and maybe grasping at straws, but  
I'm trying to think of things that might be different depending on the  
environment you're running in. Normally a standalone runs flawlessly  
if the stack in the IDE is working in the IDE.
