You should NEVER use CD in an MTDLL. That's because CD is process centric. If you need to access files in other locations it's better to set hte path or explicitly reference the files with FULLPATH() a full path. CHanging the path from within a DLL is not a good idea because you don't know what dependencies the calling process has on the path. If it changes in the middle of processing the host application can easily break.
