The tag update file can be called anything and placed anywhere as long as the process running MinimServer can read it, so the root of the content directory should be a safe enough place.
So your tagUpdate configuration option should be: /content directory path/tagUpdate.txt (if you call it tagUpdate.txt).

I don't know what OS you use, but if you're going to create the tagUpdate file on Windows make sure you transfer the file to the NAS using an ASCII transfer, otherwise you'll have a carriage return character on the end of each line and your matches won't work (if your tag update file has a .txt extension your transfer software should take care of this for you unless you use scp which I think always uses a BINARY transfer, and would therefore need to use dos2unix).

What this tagUpdate script does is add a new tag to all the files that meet the criteria (internally to MinimServer), and then just displays the tag as normal because of the "indexTags: Bookmarks" configuration option. As such, any files that don't match at least one instruction set will fall under the catch all group '[unknown]' in the control point. Whilst you can't remove this, you could call it something different using:
tagValue: Bookmarks.default={'Other'}
