Thanks, Stefan, for your quick response.
The 'relative' attribute did the trick.
However, since I needed a full path, I had to explicitly add it in the
mapper:
<mapper type="glob" from="*" to="-arg=${root.dir}/*"/>
It worked for me, but I'm afraid that if several filesets with different
base directories were used, it wouldn't work.
Thanks again,
Amnon

Yes, definitively a nice idea.

have you tried relative="true"? Untested, but I'd expect it to work.
