Aha, you're right, Drupal can't find them. This may be due to a change in PHP 
that happened along the way -- I had a similar problem in one of my modules. 
You should file an issue against pathauto, as this may be a bug.

You may be able to manually fix this by opening up pathauto.module in an 
editor, and searching on the phrase 'include' -- and try putting a './' . in 
front of the command. (this might be a little difficult if you don't know PHP 
at all, but what you're trying to accomplish is adding a ./ to the very 
beginning of the directory path that it uses).
