I have several developers working on the same project and need to share StationGlobals across each developer's PC. I'd prefer to have the StationGlobals stored in subversion. The issue I run across is having the base directory for each developers workspace being different. For example, I create workspaces in c:\projects and others create workspaces in c:\dev. I noticed in the StationGlobals.ini file that the path of the StationGlobals.ini is embedded in the file. Is there a way to abstract the location of the StationGlobals.ini file so that it is agnostic to its location?

StationGlobals.ini should reside in <TestStand>\Cfg folder. I don't see a reason why you would EVER want it anywhere else?
Look at this document: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7061
There is a section called TestStand Configuration Files. Read the NOTE part carefully. If you change the directory for your StationGlobals you also have to change the location for all the other configuration files. In Station Opotions on the Preferences tab you can set the Configuration Directory path. But note that you will need read/write access for all those files.
