We could amend the key name to something more suitable if we wished. The 
path could be either absolute or relative, so it doesn't matter. I 
assume you are referring to change `dpdk_tree` to `dpdk_tree_path` and 
`tarball` to `tarball_path` or something similar?

As replied to Dean, this scenario currently works, and I have also just 
re-tested it for completeness. I need some more details to figure out 
what's happening.

Best,
