Well I guess a problem with that approach would be if the folder doesn't
exist when the service starts but is then created after.

An administrator would be forgiven for expecting the service not to be
able to access this folder when reading the service, but AFAIUI, this
would actually not be the case.

I could be wrong of course and even if not it's maybe still acceptable
behaviour.
