Web Deploy no longer recursive in 4.0.2

We have a rather large site with many subdirectories. The subdirectories are named for the hosts they are assigned to.

i.e.

d:\web\www.site1.com = http://www.site1.com
d:\web\www.site2.com = http://www.site2.com
d:\web\www.site3.com = http://www.site3.com

For ease of use, I have set the $/ project to deploy to the D:\web\ directory.

In 4.0, this was working fine without any problems. Now for soem reason, I can no longer go to a project and deploy an individual file or an entire directory.

Is there something I am missing here? I see no options to make deploying recursive. I have always been able to do this in SOS and in VSS itself. Also, since there are quite a few projects on here, and the directory structure is constantly changing, I do not want to have to add every subdirectory by hand to be able to deploy it.

I was spending some more time fiddling around and I found a workaround/fix to my issue.

Instead of usign "$/" to deploy to "d:\web\", I changed it to "$" deploys to "D:\Web".

Once I removed the trailing slashes off both the project and the destination directory, everything is back to normal.
