Of course, because selfURL uses the webroot, and I'm telling you that  
your webroot is probably incorrect.

I have no idea what you mean by this.  If you are telling me that you  
configured Apache's webroot to be domain.com/subdomain.dir then that  
is incorrect. Apache's webroot should be domain.com/ and you should  
place the horde folder within this directory and rename it to  
subdomain.dir.
