From what I understand from the docs (I didn't look at the code),
variables cannot be used.
One way to work around this problem is to use the org-directory variable.
(setq org-directory "~/life-in-plain-text/")
Then, you need not specify the path in the capture templates. You can
just specify the file name (inbox.org)
