It is the correct relative path. It's relative to $PGDATA. Your
tablespace has the OID 25310. So, you have a symbolic link (or junction
if you are on Windows) named 25310 in your $PGDATA/pg_tblspc directory.
And PostgreSQL will access this table via the symbolic link. It really
uses this path: pg_tblspc/25310/PG_9.1_201105231/16594/25311

There's nothing wrong here.
