You cannot configure the file path used for books when receiving from the content server.

The reason: in general it is up to a web client (e.g., CC) to determine where to store downloaded files. Calibre does not provide any template for this because in the vast majority of cases the file path would be ignored. As such, CC has no information about where it is to store the file, so it uses author/title.

To fix this, either CC would need to implement the calibre template language (not going to happen -- way too hard), or calibre's content server would need to be extended to evaluate a template and send a suggested file path along with the metadata for a book. This second could happen, but given that it would be used only by CC and would probably need to be "per device", the justification for creating yet another point-of-maintenance in calibre is quite weak.
