I had the same problem and tried to fix it.

While the program goes down in folder hierarchy from the last folder that 
contains
both the XMind file and the chosen file/folder to the chosen file/folder, the 
order
of the different folders is reversed. In the code, this is actually just a 
for-loop.
So to fix this problem, only this for-loop has to be reversed.

The file that has to be modified is FilePathParser.java and is located in the 
source
code like this:
org.xmind.ui.mindmap\src\org\xmind\ui\internal\protocols\FilePathParser.java

The name of the method that has to be modified is
public static String toRelativePath(String base, String absolutePath)

The second for-loop of this method has to be modified from
for (int i = routine.size() - 1; i >= start; i--)
to
for (int i = start; i < routine.size(); i++)

Now the relative linking should work.
