Thanks a lot for this hint! I've checked and it works fine (may dirs
were left out with "-S"), thus I've just committed that change to our
svn repository (it will be included in the next release). In the
meantime, I've prepared a preliminary package here[1]: it would be
thankful if anyone with this problem can check it out.

Kindly,
Sandro
