I have a directory structure that looks like the following:  
Z:\Tree\_I  
Z:\Tree\_I\a.txt  
Z:\Tree\_I\dir  
Z:\Tree\_I\dir\b.txt  
  
I created a variable %dir%  
 set to Z:\<br\>and then defined the fileset with a  
 basedir of %dir%\Tree\_I  
when i do a fileset copy with the  
 ‘Recreate source hierarchy’ box checked  
 destination directory of 'Z:\Tree\_II’  
  
I get:  
Z:\Tree\_II  
Z:\Tree\_II\a.txt  
Z:\Tree\_II\b.txt  
  
This only happens when a variable is used in the basedir of the define action
