The os.path module is part of Python, so this is not a TMDA
limitation.  Many of the functions in that module key off the $HOME
environment variable.  So if $HOME doesn't properly point to the
user's home directory, it won't work.  One thing you could try is
setting $HOME in /etc/tmdarc, using Python's NIS module[1].  This 
will likely allow os.path and thus TMDA to work properly.
