Comment (by jmmv):

 I've been thinking about this after your reply, and I think the answer is
 pretty simple: the -r flag should only customize the name of the file in
 the current directory -- as you well say.  But the difference is: the
 Atffile file itself should explicitly state what the names of the other
 Atffiles in the other directories are.

 This is just how, e.g. Makefiles work.  If they decide to recurse, they
 decide what file they will use in the recursive call.  But the caller has
 (usually) no control on such name -- and it would make no sense to have
 control over it.

 This would require some changes in the Atffile format to introduce a new
 keyword or something so that an optional Atffile filename can be provided
 for each subdirectory.
