Just to clarify and avoid future problems. The user's document folder
is /Users/jamescoy/Documents. The Mac file system can either ignore
case or be case senstive. This is a setting when the file system is
created. NORMALLY, it is case insensitive and either path will work.
BUT making sure that you have the setting correct in case you migrate
to a new system or new file system that is case sensitive like normal
unix systems. So what you had will work with the initial / but I
highly recommend including the capitalization.
/Users is at the root of the file system.

Fully qualified means starting from /, so yes, you'd have to go back
to the user's folder. I am not familiar with OS X file system layout,
so I don't know if users is at the root, but I would start with / and
work towards the folder where you want to store the reports. The
advantage of doing it this way is that you can guarantee where the
reports are written to no matter where you are (or the cron job is)
when you run Report Magic.
To find out where your home directory is try either of these:
echo $HOME
or
cd ~
pwd
Then use that as the beginning of the path where you want to write
reports.
