The good news is that Kan has previously proposed a revised
syntax which allows the "base path" to be other than the
full path before the first wild card. He has suggested
the quite clever syntax of \\ which would be used like
the following:

c:\directory\\next_dir\another*\

Currently the base path above is c:\directory\next_dir\ and
only the directory structure below this (\another*\) would
be replicated. With the \\ syntax, the base path would be
c:\directory\ and \next_dir\another*\ directories would be
replicated to the destination.

The bad news is that it doesn't help you now and that this
syntax hasn't been implemented in the alpha version either
(hint to Kan).
