Cannot compile file via absolute path

[awstlaur]

Command

node build/phaseA/pyret.jarr 
  --build-runnable /home/alex/pyret-examples/example.arr
  --outfile /home/alex/pyret-examples/example.jarr
  --builtin-js-dir src/js/trove/
  --builtin-arr-dir src/arr/trove
  --require-config src/scripts/standalone-configA.json

Output

Gathering dependencies...The run ended in error:
Cannot find import dependency("file", [list: "/home/alex/pyret-examples/example.arr"])

I am able to do this if I instead specify the same file with a relative path.

@SethPoulsen @jpolitz did this eventually get merged into master?
