+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #905322 +++

Description of problem:
Command "hivex-commit" need a absolute path as its parameter, it's different with "hivex-open" which just need a relative path.

"/WINDOWS/system32/config/software" is exist, and that folder is writable. it's like hivex-commit didn't correctly follow the link, its path is not start from "/sysroot/"  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
><fs> version
major: 1
minor: 20
release: 1
extra: rhel=7,release=6.el7,libvirt


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch libguestfs with a windows guest
[root#] guestfish -a Win2003-32-hvm.raw
><fs> run
><fs> mount /dev/sda1 /

2. open a registry hive file with write model
><fs> hivex-open /WINDOWS/system32/config/software write:true

3. commit changes to the hive file with relative path, it's failed
><fs> hivex-commit /WINDOWS/system32/config/software
libguestfs: error: hivex_commit: failed: No such file or directory

4. commit changes to the hive file with absolute path, it's passed
><fs> hivex-commit /sysroot/WINDOWS/system32/config/software
