That is correct.  There is a built-in path to search for configuration files.

The '-c' option is used to *add* config files to this search path,
rather than replace the list completely.

It's a mis-invocation - you don't need to specify configuration files
that is on the default search path.   Alternatively, you could use the
'-C' flag to clear this default list, before reading the specified
config file(s).
