Local.conf is fine, yes.  It's unlikely that it's actually being
ignored, though.  Run a bitbake -e|grep FILESPATH=, and see what it's
set to.  Note that it will only list the items in the search path that
actually exist, so ensure you mkdir the ${TOPDIR}/files directory
referred to there.  Also note that the default TOPDIR is $PWD, which
is where you're building from, which is most commonly your build
directory.
