Is there a bug in "tf add /recursive"?

I'm trying to add the following folder tree to TFS:

C:\TFS\folder1
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3\test.txt

In the above example the folder "C:\TFS" is a mapped TFS working folder. I issue the following commands from the console:

cd C:\TFS
tf add folder1 /recursive

After this command has finished my repository contains the following tree (as pending changes):

$/folder1
$/folder1/folder2

As you can see "folder3" and the text file "test.txt" below are completely missing! Why?

Update: I've submitted this as a bug to Microsoft:

from microsoft the basic command goes as follows:

tf add itemspec [/lock:(none|checkin|checkout)] [/type:filetype] 
[/noprompt] [/recursive] [/login:username,[password]]

I typed in the following command and it worked fine:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe" add itemspec /r "where to add to"

you run the command from the folder you want to copy files and in the command under "where to add to" you type the destination
