When you use Fop task wiht filesets, the base dir of the transformation is the
base dir of the fileset. 

I don't understand why this behaviour but I suggest that It will be better if
the base dir of the transformation will allways be the folder where .fo file is.
This way is easiest to work with external files like images.

I think this have sense becouse if the .fo file is the source of the
translation, its folder should be the basedir of the translation. 

If you think that the folder of the .fo files sometimes should not be the base
dir, you could add a new attrbute to the Fop Task, to change the behaviour,
something like <Fop sourceFilesBaseURL="true"/> or <Fop foFilesBaseURL="true"/>
