Up until now, resgen did not support the /useSourcePath option. This option
instructs resgen to resolve relative paths using the directory of the resx
file as current directory.

I have been working on this, and MWF support for ResXResourceReader.BasePath
(which was necessary for this) has already landed in SVN. This involved
quite some changes, since we were loading resources in the ctor. I've now
modified ResXResourceReader to lazy load resources and fixed a bunch of
other (small) issues at the same time.

I'm now preparing a patch for resgen which will add support for the
/useSourcePath option.

I'll attach the patch to bug #80571 in a minute, and await approval.

Let me know if that fixes your problem.
