My server has the same chdir, but then tries to open /vice/db/vicetab.
In your case I would assume it should try to use the full pathname as
well and try to open("/var/spool/coda/vice/db/vicetab").

The only case where the prefix isn't added is when vicetab is explicitly
set to db/vicetab in the server.conf configuration file. (I guess the
comment there is wrong and it isn't relative to the vicedir prefix, but
should be vicetab=../db/vicetab.
