If my memory is right the workaround means that you have to add the missing
part of the URL when creating the text item in the dataview (edit the file
data view generates) - you can then do the modification to hyperlinks and it
will work.

That at least is what I seem to remember doing when using data view to grab
info from a WSS database on another server.

The site I've done this on is at work (I'm not) and it was about a year
ago - but hopefully that gives you something to work on.
