os.path.join - Isn't working

[Gregory Piñero]

Would someone mind explaining this seemingly strange behavior of
os.path.join to me?

[Dbg]>>> os.path.join('C:\\Documents and
Settings\\Gregory','\\graphics\\knight\\been hit e0001.bmp')
>>'\\graphics\\knight\\been hit e0001.bmp'

And what is the right way to reference this path relatively?
