I have a directory with contents:
build.xml
a.txt
dir/b.txt
The content of build.xml is:
<project name="testant" basedir="." default="testcopy" >
<path id="filesToCopy" >
<pathelement location="a.txt" />
<pathelement location="dir/b.txt" />
</path>
<target name="testcopy" >
<copy todir="dest" flatten="true">
<resources>
<path refid="filesToCopy" />
</resources>
</copy>
</target>
</project>
When flatten is true, all is good and the directory 'dest' is created
with a.txt and b.txt.
When flatten is false, I hoped to get the directory dest with contents
a.txt and dir/b.txt. Instead the directory 'dest' is not created and I get:

HUH? How can a.txt and dir/b.txt be up to date when their destination doesn't
exist yet? This seems too fundamental to be a bug so could someone straighten
me out?
I understand from other threads that the missing antlib.xml is not a problem.
I tried updating ant.jar anyway. There missing antlib.xml warning went away
but the behavior remained the same.
Thanks in advance,
