Ordinarily I make my project root one level below your document root so I can 
put them in the tree below the document area. In your case it's mandated to 
be somewhat nonstandard. A solution would be to use a Project Event Action on 
upload to run a script. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to create a 
script to use over ssh but if you can use a relocate script on the server 
that might be easier. Of course if you can't do it on the server but you can 
use ssh-keygen it is pretty easy.
1) upload to project root
2) the script is called with the file name as a paramter
3) the script opens an ssh session and moves the files to their correct 
destination

If you have to deal with a tree it's a little more interesting as you'd have 
to traverse the tree for files, take the path and graft it onto your include 
path and remove the tree after the move operation.
