Haven't tried it myself, but from the doc I would say that <pathconvert>
would have converted your fileset the way you wanted. FWIW, --DD

What i did was write a task which gives me the list of files in a directory 
as a string. If the string is empty, the dir is empty. Email me if you'd
like 
that task. i wrote a custom task for that because when i tried to print 
filesets i got a string which looked like a reference address (not a
readable 
string, anyway).

The xml looks like this:

<taskdef name="filelister" classname="de.einsurance.ant.FileListTask"/>
<filelister
  outputproperty='build.cvs.maillist' includedirs="false" 
  delimiter=" " dir="${build.cvs.maildir}"
  usefullpaths="true"
/>
<condition property="cvs.doupdates">
  <!-- Set cvs.doupdates if the list of files in ${build.cvs.maildir} is not

empty. -->
 <not>
    <equals arg1="" arg2="${build.cvs.maillist}"/>
  </not>
</condition>
