Are there any updates on this one?

There's a simple fix in #422.

Looks like the --directory option required an absolute path to date and silently failed, falling back to $XCODES_DIRECTORY or ~/Downloads if the value wasn't an absolute path to an existing directory.

The fix is explained in the README of mxcl/Path.swift:

// paths are *always* absolute thus avoiding common bugs
let path = Path(userInput) ?? Path.cwd/userInput
