The reason that MATCH doesn't work is that
the paths returned from glob are relative
to the working directory, not the directory
containing the jamfile.  When b2 is run from
status/ this results in paths like
../libs/test/doc/example/*.cpp, which don't
match the pattern you gave.  I would suggest
using path.basename to get the name of
the file without the directory component.
