wget help

i am trying to ftp files/dirs with wget. i am having an issue where the path always takes me to my home dir even when i specify something else. For example:

wget -m ftp://USER:PASS@IP_ADDRESS/Path/on/remote/box

...but if that path on the remote box isn't in my home dir it doesn't change to the proper dir. I've read over the docs without much luck. Anyone know what i am not doing, in order to change the dirs? Thanks in advance.
