[Dirvish] change directory (cd) issues....

I believe the answer is in the dirvish.conf man page.  Here's an extract from 
the pre-server, pre-client, etc. section:

  Each pre or post shell_commands will be run with these environment
  variables DIRVISH_SERVER, DIRVISH_CLIENT, DIRVISH_SRC, DIRVISH_DEST
  and DIRVISH_IMAGE set.  The current directory will be DIRVISH_SRC on
  the client and DIRVISH_DEST on the server.

That last sentence looks to me like it fits your symptoms...
