Pretty sure the pwd is ~ there.  That's just how kde does it.  Try cd 
$(dirname $0) or so if you want, but maybe better to just add an action 
to konqueror that lets you right-click on a directory and say "open 
with shrink_jpg" at which point the script would get an argument which 
is the absolute path to a directory.
