#32 vssget doesn't work in the presence of cloaked projects

I have a large project structure in VSS that I only want
to retrieve some of the underlying projects. Through
SourceSafe GUI, I have cloaked the projects that I don't
want to retrieve.

Using vssget results in only some of the correct files
being retrieved. Files that are directly under the base
directory seem to be retrieved correctly, but no folders
under the base directory (uncloaked) are retrieved.

I looked briefly at the code and couldn't see anything
obvious. This may be an area where the VSS
automation interface doesn't work.

(As an aside: If I use SourceOffsite 4.0.1 to retrieve, it
doesn't work properly with cloaked projects defined
either.)

My VSS structure looks like this:

$/Development/BaseProject
file1.txt
Project1 --- cloaked
Project2 --- uncloaked

file1.txt is retrieved, but Project2 isn't.
