Yes, of course.  They *must* have different values, otherwise -D
is of no use.  Looks like you did not understand its semantics.
The change_directory_option supplies *source directory* and the
directory_name gives *destination directory*.  As an example, consider
this:

  cpio -D /usr -p /usr/local < filelist

(it is supposed that filelist contains names relative to /usr, of
course).
