You need to set the basedir of the fileset ....
eg.
<copy todir="d:/temp/bar/" overwrite="true" verbose="true" flatten="false">
<fileset basedir="d:\temp\foo">
<include name="**/**" />
</fileset>
</copy>

This is working fine using the latest nightly build
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds).
