Wrong path when zip a file

Question

When I try to Zip a file(backup.zip) everything is good except one thing.
When I use WinZip to unzip the file, the path for the file contains all subdirectories eg. c:\mycatalog\backup\db\data.data
I would like the path to be like: backup\db\data.data
The code:
pathName is "c:\mycatalog"
fileName is "backup"
public class Zip {
private static ZipOutputStream zos;
* Creates a Zip archive. If the name of the file passed in is a
* directory, the directory's contents will be made into a Zip file.
public static void makeZip(File pathName, String fileName)
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
File file = new File(pathName,fileName);
zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pathName.toString()+"\\"+fileName+".lum"));
//Call recursion.
recurseFiles(file);
//We are done adding entries to the zip archive,
//so close the Zip output stream.
zos.close();
* Recurses down a directory and its subdirectories to look for
* files to add to the Zip. If the current file being looked at
* is not a directory, the method adds it to the Zip file.
private static void recurseFiles(File file)
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
if (file.isDirectory()) {
//Create an array with all of the files and subdirectories
//of the current directory.
String[] fileNames = file.list();
if (fileNames != null) {
//Recursively add each array entry to make sure that we get
//subdirectories as well as normal files in the directory.
for (int i=0; i<fileNames.length; i++) {
recurseFiles(new File(file, fileNames));
//Otherwise, a file so add it as an entry to the Zip file.
else {
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
//Create a new Zip entry with the file's name.
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(file.toString());
//Create a buffered input stream out of the file
//we're trying to add into the Zip archive.
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
zos.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
//Read bytes from the file and write into the Zip archive.
while ((len = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
zos.write(buf, 0, len);
//Close the input stream.
in.close();
//Close this entry in the Zip stream.
zos.closeEntry();

Sorry, I want the path to be like: "\db\data.data"
