Your agent should monitor all of the paths it's been configured for. 
Otherwise it would be subject to a race condition:

1. user touches path A

2. launchd launches the agent with path A, but it takes a while to start up

3. user touches path B

4. agent runs and processes path A

5. path B is never processed
