If I recall correctly, .pcb/preferences overrides .pcb/settings. In addition preferences are overwritten on every regular shut-down of pcb. Not all options are processed in preferences. This means, .pcb/settings has no effect for options that are already in .pcb/preferences. However, if you remove the options from .pcb/preferences, pcb will fall back to .pcb/settings.
Thanks for the note about removing from .pcb/preferences. I've been able to partly do what I wanted for project dirs -- to define local ./pcb.settings with several footprint search path locations. I also see directory . available even though not asked for. The local definitions wipe the ones in .pcb/settings as you noticed. What would be great is to have local search paths added to the default central footprint library, but I can work around that.
