Quote from the man page:
"if the pattern starts with a / then it is anchored to a particular spot in the
hierarchy of files,  otherwise it is matched against the end of the pathname. 
This is similar to a leading ^ in regular expressions. Thus "/foo" would match
a name of "foo" at either the "root of the transfer" (for a global rule) or in
the merge-file’s directory (for a per-directory rule)."

Can you explain how the pattern "/tmp/test/1/foo" doesn't match the file
"/tmp/test/1/foo"? What should the correct pattern be?
