The issue is do you want 1) a new copy of the default file for every record
or 2) do you want all default files pointing to the same one?
In case 2) you should be able to do from the shell:
filename = db.docs.filepath.store(open('default.png'))
then use in your action:
db.docs.filepath.default = filename
