I just looked in 11.04, and it says:

Content Path Prefix:  Define the Prefix of the content placement file .
Start up by a / and finish without /
Template Path Prefix:  Define the skeleton of the content placement file .
Start up by a / and finish without /

This MAY be useful to someone, if it was understood better.  Maybe add it
to Catalog Help?
