I think that the phrase wanted to say that the file named with the option must live under that directory, without any implication that the directory is used as the base when a relative path is used. If the helper MUST give a full pathname and a pathname relative to that directory is not accepted, it is a good idea to spell it out (also if it must end with ".keep", that also should be documented---is there any other restrictions?).
