On RISC OS 5 it looks as if you want to set ADFSFiler$DefaultPath, not
$DefaultDir.  Otherwise, it seems (from a five second experimentation:
I've never actually used the feature) to work the same.  So, amend your
Obey file to read

  Set ADFSFiler$DefaultPath Temporary

and it should do what you want.  Probably.
