I see a pile of other messages, so someone may have already 
suggested this. But in case not...

That "mozilla" might be a shell script. That shell script might
have relative paths in it. Sylpheed is not 'in' that directory,
so the relative paths won't make sense.

If it's a shell script, then um. The way I used to do this
kind of thing is to have a slightly different line in that
text box: "cd /wherever/it/lives ; mozilla". You might try
that.

(Note the single dot means "this directory" so you can abbreviate
it to /usr/lib/mozilla_1.1/ safely.)
