It's to do with the file path conversion in UnixLib. If you use RISC OS
paths then the output file paths don't get converted. Shortening to just
the file name works as there is no pathg to convert.

If you change your example command to,

pdftohtml /RAM::RamDisc0.$/TBOAGsamp.pdf /RAM::RamDisc0.$/webpage

This should also work.
