You can specify a directory. But you first have to go to 'Other...' and drill down to the directory you want. The item in the bookmarks is, as you say, always the root directory for the server. But just note that you can indeed choose a subdirectory. You just have to use the 'Other...' option.

When you connect to a server in nautilus, and provide a directory, it immediately opens that directory for you, but the entry it adds to the bookmarks is for the root directory.

So I'm repurposing this bug to be about how Deja Dup should use the directory/location you enter in the 'connect to server...' dialog, rather than having to connect in nautilus and then subsequently re-enter that info into the Deja Dup preferences.
