I hope you have more moments of despair because that's nifty and I'll use it.
You could possibly use ruby's dirname and basename (http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.7/File.html) inside an inline template to do the directory/file split for you in a single resource. The parameters for permissions and ownership for file vs directory might get messy, though.
