This is in the misc/FAQ file:

Q: When ifcico receives a file request, does it perform a subdirectory
seach?
A: No. But remember that in UN*X files may have more than one link.

ifcico will try to return the file:

/home/ftp/pub/files1/filebase/smokey.bbs

(this is a `reference request', the file contains the list of items that
will be recusively re-requested).
