Where do you read this? The policy says, that it "[..] may be invoked in
any directory [..]". To my understanding, this is not a "must work from
anywhere". I agree, that script-calls should work from any directory.
But I expect the user to run the target at a place, where the user has
write permissions. I don't want to add tests and checks for this. But
this would be necessary to fulfill the requirement you state.
