MOSS 2007 SP3 - Custom Site Definition - ~sitecollection not getting replaced??

Hi,

I have a custom site definition for MOSS 2007. In the ONET.xml I have some site collection relative links as you can see below. My problem is that these links do not get replaced by the real site collection relative url and now look like this:

http://server/Test/_controltemplates/~sitecollection/Lists/News/AllItems.aspx

What might be wrong or do I need to do something to get these relative Links replaced?

Thanks

Sven
