That's weird. I created a test.org file in /tmp/foo/bar/baz/test.org
and made a small ditaa diagram (foo.png) with two rectangles in it.
C-c C-e d creates
,----
| address@hidden:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$ ls
| foo.png test.org test.pdf test.tex
| address@hidden:/tmp/foo/bar/baz$
`----
and nothing else. I don't get .aux, .log etc in there.
For me all files are in the same directory as the .org
file.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on this one.
