flatten question

["Nystrom, Edward" <ed...@omgeo.com>]

Greetings - I want to take all the files from a directory tree, flatten them
into one directory, and tar that directory.  The problem I am having is that
the directories themselves are being created along with the files during the
flatten.  I do not want empty directory entries in my new directory.  Am I
messing something?  Here is my code and results:

   <target name="alertweb-db-tar" description="tarfile for app box/database
deployment">
        <delete dir="../temp"/>
        <copy todir="../temp">
            <fileset dir="../stoprocs"/>
            <mapper type="flatten"/>
        </copy>
        <tar destfile="${tarfile.db.path}" longfile="warn">
            <tarfileset dir="../temp" mode="755" prefix="AlertWeb/stoprocs">
            </tarfileset>
        </tar>
    </target> <!-- end target name="alertweb-db-tar -->

the directory temp looks like this.  I do not want empty directories there.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Ed.
