I apologize, I explained it wrong. Let me try to explain it correctly with a
different example.

host1.domain.com 
Source Directory: /data

-files-from file

c/contents
c/contents

I want this to end up on host2.domain.com as

/backup/x/contents
/backup/x/contents

So it's not the root thats the problem but the next level down. I need to be
able to list the paths to be backed up via -files-from, but yet need c to
end up as x on the destination.

Thanks,
Max
