I found a way around it, use pathconvert. This does turn the fileset or direst into a property but that can still be used in an ant-contrib foreach. The real magic is in the <map> tag it remaps the names from the 'from' location to the 'to' location.
<dirset id="directories" dir="/dir/to/copy/from" followsymlinks="false"> <exclude name="**/.svn/**"/> <include name="**/*"/> </dirset> <pathconvert pathsep=";" property="directories.list" refid="directories"> <map from="/dir/to/copy/from " to="/dir/to/copy/to "/> </pathconvert> I hope that helps someone!

Some tasks work with filesets and mappers. Applying a mapper to the "new.files" fileset will give you what you want. Also have a look at the possibilities offered by resource collections in ant 1.7. They contain a lot of nice stuff such as intersection ...
