Those are some sample profiles shipped with Wireshark, and not the location
of profiles that Wireshark would look for when you specify the -C option.

For the correct location of the user's profiles directory, run "Wireshark ->
Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders -> Personal configuration"

By the way, why do you need a separate profile for this?  Why can't you just
use the default profile and create the 80211_keys file directly in the
profiles/ directory instead of creating a separate profile and have to
specify the -C option at all?
