I think this problem only with the latest version, it is not the case 
before, you may have look at the cog's documentation.

Cog's 4_1_4 library structure is some thing like this
jagan at brama ~/cogkit/cog/dist/cog-4_1_4
$ ls
bin  etc  examples  lib  lib-gt3_2_1  lib-gt4_0_0
There are number of jars in lib folder which are required to be in 
classpath and there other jar files in folders lib-gt3_2_1 and  lib-gt4_0_0
These folders are required to maintain the relative path but those 
shouldn't go in "classpath".

I would like to put all the cog jars in $KEPLER/cog folder which is not 
a regular kepler class path folder.
I create a new classpath for cog taks from with in the kepler actor and 
call a new sub process to handle this task as shown below.

String wfCommnad =  "java -classpath "+cogClassPath+" 
org.globus.cog.karajan.Loader "+ xmlScript;
process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(wfCommnad);

I agree with you the relative path is not a good solution.
