"TYPO3 Core API" is not part of the public promoted documentation yet,
so don't expect everybody to know about:

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/Matrix/

A Core API, that excludes the use of absolute pathes for fileuploads,
hinders the administration of files in secure directories, that stay outside the 
webserver, with the backend file browser.

There are more than one Extensions running into this constraint.

It is still worth a try with relative pathes that step upwards from PATH_site 
with some "../../../".
