I think as long as the .xml and the .pvsm files are in the same directory,
it should work fine with the directory attribute.

It is not wrong. The part describes the server manager in general. As far as
the server manager is concerned, proxies can be stored in any group.
However, ParaView does assume that all sources will be in sources, filters
in filters, readers in readers etc.
