What version of Zoo do you have?  I have 2.01, and I have to specify every
directory myself.  Yes, zoo will store the full path name, but in order to 
zoo the fonts directory, and all subdirectories, for example, you would
need to "zoo a foobar fonts:*" then "zoo a foobar fonts:topaz/*", etc, for
each individual subdirectory.  lharc on the other hand will automatically
lharc all the directories if you "lharc -r -x a foobar fonts:*"
