Its so you override an absolute path that is no longer valid for the new computer. This often happens when you have a model saved with absolute path for a specific machine, then the data and its imagery is moved to another machine with the imagery filenames now completely wrong, here the DataFileSearchPath + stripped filenames comes to the rescue.
