This makes sense if you are running the Groovy code as a script, otherwise the whole idea gets a little confusing, IMO. 
The workaround is here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-1642
Basically this involves changing startGroovy.sh to pass in the location of the Groovy script as an environment variable.
