 If it were just the attachment links that had this problem, I would have been tempted to solve it by moving them into the subdirectories. But links like Previous Folder and List of Folders have the same problem.

 I've added a base_url option (not yet documented) that allows you to specify the url of the top directory. If specified, this will be used instead of relative paths. You should get a warning if the relative paths are broken and you don't specify a base_url. I may change this to an error after it gets a reasonable amount of testing.
