Why do you insist to start at root ("/")? If you dont have root  
access, you can't access anything at root. Sounds logical?

Maybe you have a chroot'ed environment where / is mapped to something  
like /home/youraccount, but that would surprise me.

I guess you need the absolute path to your lilypond installation - and  
that won't be at root!

Further, you can't expect to run anything own in a "super cheap"  
shared hosting environment, and this is not the place to discuss web  
hosting details.
