paths and subprojects

I'm having problems building a subproject. My directory structure is:

$(Top) -> jamtest\
jamfile
ee\
jamfile
init\
jamfile
init.c
hello\
jamfile
hello.c
iop\ <stuff below here not important>

And I'm running bjam in the ee\hello directory:

bjam -s"TOOLS=snps2" -s"BUILD=debug"

I see these messages:

Init.c is in fact in the right place, so why shouldn't bjam find it? 

Also, the directory structures that got created are:

$(TOP)\ee\hello\ee\init\bin\init\snps2\debug\instruction-set-ee

$(TOP)\ee\hello\bin\hello\snps2\debug\instruction-set-ee

The second one is fine, but what's up with the first line? Shouldn't
the binary for init.a have been placed in a structure under
$(Top)\ee\init? 

The build works when bjam is started in the $(Top) directory
