upstart has a 'chdir' primitive you can use for this.

chdir /path/newrelic_rs_dfw
exec ./bundle exec ./bin/newrelic_rs

(I'm assuming that 'bundle' is in the local directory, and not something on
the system path.)

What env variable would you expect to be setting here?  That's the wrong
tool for changing the directory.

What version of upstart are you using?
