If it's working when you mount the games folder (which is how you should do it, changing to games directories as needed, instead of mounting the game's directory as root), you may have a few of the game files installed in c:\oldapps.
Or, it could be that the game is trying to use certain paths that do not exist when you mount the game's directory as the root.

(eg. c:\oldapps\dkk becomes c:\ and so the files wouldn't be in c:\ as they're actually in c:\dkk - if you get that..?)

This could account for it not working when you tried to run it with c:\ as c:\oldapps\dkk, as the \oldapps directory wouldn't exist for the purposes of Death Knights.

It is recommended that you ALWAYS mount Dosbox's c:\ as c:\oldapps and NOT as c:\oldapps\[game].
A few extra keystrokes - a few extra commands - isn't much to avoid little errors like this.
It may be an idea to read the FAQ's on Dosbox: http://www.abandonia.com/node/23854
