bbv2 linking against a library in nested category problem

Hi all,
I'm having trouble linking against a library in a sub category.
I've no idea what I am doing wrong. I have trimmed the source
code into a very trivial example, I can attach if the error is
not obvious from below and some one is interested.

My main exe(link_category/Jamfile) target is declared like:
exe test_main : test_main.cpp /core/category//ttt ;

upon executing bjam I receive this error message:
error: Unable to find file or target named
error: '/core/category//ttt'
error: referred from project at
error: '.'

I get a similar error message if I use ../category//ttt also.

The ttt lib(category/ttt/Jamfile) target is declared like:
lib TTT : ttt.cpp ttt.h : <link>static ; 

and the top level Jamfile which is parallel to link_category
and category contains:
project core
: requirements <include>..
: requirements <threading>multi 
;

If I move ttt to be parallel to category and change the exe
target to reflect this then all is well.

So can any one tell me where my mistake is?

thanks
mal
