In general, this is not possible. Because the file (chunk) being executed
maybe executed from memory (with the help of a loadstring) and loaded from a
database before that or simply generated on the fly, for example. AFAIK,
there is no facility to detect the method used to retrieve/generate the
chunk.

Are you sure you're solving the correct problem? Could you state your
purpose for finding out the directory of the file being executed?

Thanks.
