Ideally, the directory should have the same name as the download file. But, a directory called "KoboRoot.tgz" should block the file from being unpacked properly. But, the firmware looks for that file when you disconnect from the PC and restart the device. Looking at the checks in the script, it's probably OK, but I'm by no means an expert with shell scripts.
