jabberd 1.4.2 changed the root directory to the directory where it had 
been compiled on startup. That's the home directory. AFAIK this error 
message can just be ignored if all filenames in the configuration file 
have absolute locations.
To prevent jabberd 1.4.2 changing to the directory where it had been 
compiled there is a command line switch where an other home location can 
be specified. I don't know by mind which switch this was, but
"jabberd -?" should give a list of all available switches of jabberd 1.4.2.
