It is much easier to use the "adb shell am" command to start and stop profiling in a process. Run the command without arguments to get help text. The file you give when profiling can be on the sd card, because the am command takes care of opening it and it has permission to access the SD card.
Otherwise, yes if you want to write your profile data to the sd card (note "fnord" is not on the sd card), then you will need to add the permission to your app and later remove it.
