You're wrong, it doesn't work that way. Zoo doesn't understand '#?'. It
does understand '*' as a wildcard, but:

zoo a ruru.zoo X/*

wouldn't archive directory 'C' or file 'a' within directory 'C'.

As they say, RTFM.

I believe that zoo a ruru.zoo X/#? works too.

I believe that   zoo a ruru.zoo X/*  */*  */*/*    works too.

Note that    zoo -add     does NOT seem to preserve directories.   ...BJ
