Yes.
I believe the boot firmware combines that path with the boot file name
and makes a request for /home/me/mvp.bin, in your case.
mvpmc in rcS gets this path as $DONGLE (from an upstream process, that
gets it from mvpmc's DHCP client...or perhaps passed on by the boot
firmware via a Flash location), and uses it as the basis of the file
name for the "config file" request. So if the first includes a path, the
second will also.

If your dongle is stored in /tftpboot on your server *and* your TFTP
server isn't configured to ignore paths, then yes, correcting that path
to match is necessary.
Telling the server to ignore paths is the safest and simplest thing to do.

But your request didn't include a path. That's what you need to
test...or alternatively, eliminate the path from your DHCP options so it
matches your test.
In any case, if it was just a file not found failure, you'd see that in
the logs. (At least if you were running the BSD TFTP server; the logging
from atftp is a bit sketchy, and I don't recommend it).
