In my experience you can't add an item to more than one FILES spec.

I just did the experiment of including it in both client and server
FILES, and the directory only shows up it the one that occurs first,
server in this case.

I added the directory to the client FILES in my patch because I saw
that the server init creates the directory if it doesn't exist.

I still believe that the original patch is the best way to handle this.
