You know, I knew I would find the answer 2 minutes after I posted .. the 
answer is to tell it to redirect to "G:\" - note trailing slash, denoting 
top level. Without it (i.e., just "G:"), it then creates an "H" and "I " 
folder, and puts everything in there. I guess it thinks it's a relative 
path, and so must add "H" and "I". That isn't the conclusion I would have 
drawn from a "G: without an ending slash, but hey - as long as I know how 
to accomplish what I need to do.

Thanks and sorry for the waste of the bandwidth.
