Are you sure?

I didn't think the JMeter client passed anything to the server except
the test plan.

Not necessarily - relative paths can be used for the files, so the
top-level directories can vary. The JMeter directories (bin/lib etc)
are the same anyway.

Not necessarily - you could use the hostname as part of the file name,
and use the hostname function as part of the file name.

Read-only access is surely always thread-safe?

AFAIK, this should work so long as you use exactly the same JMeter
version on all the nodes.
