Sorry, I realize I might not have been entirely clear here.

CWD is `.../server`

The directory `.../server/temp` exists

The specified -r is: `temp/image-2019-4-14`

I would expect the destination to be: `.../server/temp/image-2019-4-14`
(joining `.../server` `temp/image-2019-4-14`)

The actual destination guix system uses is:
`.../server/temp/temp/image-2019-4-14` which produces an error because
`temp/temp` doesn't exist.
