Check your Interface->Properties settings for that particular
interface in Xastir.  You might have set it in there.  If the path
settings are all blank in there then Xastir uses hard-coded path
settings.  You might need to update your Xastir to make it use a
more modern path setting in that case.  Or, just put in at least one
path (out of the three) that has the path you like and it will
override the hard-coded value.
