Use DTerm's “Execute in Terminal” command instead of directly executing in DTerm. See Running commands in Terminal.
DTerm is not an interactive terminal, so commands like “cd” that change the shell state won’t have any effect. All commands execute independently in the working directory given at the top of the DTerm window.
