Problems with MRTG and .htaccess

I am using basic configurations with MRTG that is creating files in
multiple directories - each with a separate .htaccess file and login for
that directory.

I am finding that the .htaccess login dialog is opening 4 times. Once
for the actual login, then three additional boxes that you can cancel
with no adverse affect.  

I have traced it down to the fact that the code created by MRTG includes
a ../ before the name of each .png file that will be displayed.

Is there a way to suppress the ../ ?  If not, do you have any
suggestions on how to prevent this problem?
