If you call NbPreferences.root().node("foo/bar").put("k", "v") you will get a file (contents "k=v") in $userdir/config/Preferences/foo/bar/prefs.properties. I would rather expect the path to be $userdir/config/Preferences/foo/bar.properties. This is especially annoying when you create children of a Preferences node and then you get e.g. someDir child1 prefs.properties child2 prefs.properties which is harder to grasp than the simpler someDir child1.properties child2.properties Creating the extra folders also adds a bit of overhead (RAM, CPU) to the system filesystem for no reason.
