The first thing that comes to mind when relative paths are not found is that the expectation of the current working directory is incorrect. I believe that the WiX MSBuild tasks used by .wixproj use the location where the .wixproj exists as the working directory requiring that any relative paths begin in that directory. If you are calling light.exe yourself then you'll need to decide whether the working directory is what you expect.
