They're ignored for security reasons. It's simply not a good idea to allow an outside user to change
where files are being written. They were only ever changeable for the sake of convenience when
configuring a demo- not a good reason.

Fix is easy, just edit your mapfile and set IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL appropriately in the WEB
section.
