You don't say how you reproduce this error...

Very confusing. Try to be more creative with the dirnames next time.

That is expected. The folder "a" is copied from its BASE location. The
way to represent the 'rm' you did locally (but did not copy) is to copy
'a' and then 'rm' one of its children; without the 'rm', all of "a"'s
children at its old location would also be its children at the new
location.
