Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
I am suggesting this be marked as wishlist, since the expected behavior is not 
the default in any version of Linux that I know of. The leading "/" is always 
required from top-level directories. Perhaps defining an alias or function 
could be done to automatically add this when necessary, but it must also be 
removed when necessary. For example, 
     media/cdrom
fails, but so does
     /USER/Documents
if USER is a subdirectory. /home/USER/Documents is the correct directory. Using 
the leading "/" for non top-level directories fails.

For those with issues other than reading the directories with/without
the leading "/", please file a new bug report. Thanks for helping.
