When you say 

VPATH = /d

you are in some sense asking make to add directory /d to the make's 
current directory.


When you say 

%.d : %.c
        ...

you are in some sense asking make to build your some foo.d from foo.c in
current directory. Which make does: it finds /d/foo.d. From this it should
be obvious that to solve your problem you should either not add /d to
the current directory (remove VPATH /d) or not ask to build foo.d in 
make's current directory:

/%.d: /%.c
        ...
