I think this is because the default work_dir (i.e. "work" in the current 
directory) is not parsed with realpath.
To work around it for now, set the working directory explicitly using 
mkarchiso -w /path/to/workdir . Most of the time you'll want to set it 
explicitly to somewhere under /tmp/ anyway.
