This is correct. What happened when you tried it? What went wrong?

However, you should not do this if you have multiple partitions. Each 
partition should have it's own entry. File rename tracking doesn't work 
if you multiple partition mounted below the Path in one of these 
specifications.

Unfortunately I haven't quite got round to getting the daemon to check 
for this (it's very platform specific), so it's up to you to avoid bad 
configurations.
