I agree, but I think getting the "cd" command correct might actually fix this problem, because possibly the OP's make program will not output the full path if it's already running from a directory within that path. But that might be wishful thinking on my part.

Note that E303 can be caused on Windows 7 because Vim looks in C:\Temp and C:\TMP rather than $TEMP and $TMP for swap files by default; you can fix this by modifying your 'directory' option. But, Vim will still be looking in the wrong location for the file itself. And, Windows 7 has "C:\Users\blah" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\blah" so it's not as likely to be the cause in this case.
