Try hand-selecting the file with this often used idiom:
 
 [bang(
 |
 [openpanel]
 |
 [open $1(
 |
 [readsf~]

Your problem might be, that you try to use readsf~ in a patch in a
patch, that is not next to the "sound" directory. Because of that,
looking in "../" is not looking in the directory above sound.

You could also use a full path, like "/usr/lib/pd/doc/sound/file.wav" or
"c:/pd/doc/soundfile.wav", if you're on Windows.
