I've run into this situation as well, and I'd be curious
as to others'
take on it.

The workaround that I've come up with is to use a
PostCmd script to move
the files I want to a specific subdirectory and then
output-transfer that
directory with a trailing slash to get only the contents,
rather than
the directory itself.
