My question would by why would you ever really want to do this.

In the environment that I used this same type of scenario, we named the DDM
files the exact same name as the target files and put them in a library that
was named the same as the target library.

In a disaster recovery situation, we would simply load the real data (having
the same file and library names as the DDM files) onto the one machine and
presto. We be live.

But, if you are using a DDM file named B in lib X and it points to file R in
lib Y, then a logical in X named B could point to the R in Y. See?
