Sorry, I missed something in the structure:

All the general information files should stay just below the generated 
subfolder on the level of the folders Documentation and XMLSchema (not 
in the XMLSchema folder). General information files like:
   DDI_CR3_Notes.txt
   License.txt
   Readme.txt

See modified example below. The modified file for the website is in the 
attachment.

For example:

DDI_3_0_CR3_2008-02-12_Documentation_XMLSchema.zip

This should unpack into:

DDI_3_0_CR3_2008-02-12_Documentation_XMLSchema
    Documentation
      Modules
        module HTML documentation files ...
      DDI_3_0_CR3.html
    XMLSchema
      XHTML
        XHTML files ...
      archive.xsd
      comparative.xsd
      conceptualcomponent.xsd
      datacollection.xsd
      dataset.xsd
      dcelements.xsd
      ddi-xhtml11-model-1.xsd
      ddi-xhtml11-modules-1.xsd
      ddi-xhtml11.xsd
      ddiprofile.xsd
      group.xsd
      inline_ncube_recordlayout.xsd
      instance.xsd
      logicalproduct.xsd
      ncube_recordlayout.xsd
      physicaldataproduct.xsd
      physicalinstance.xsd
      proprietary_recordlayout.xsd
      reusable.xsd
      simpledc20021212.xsd
      studyunit.xsd
      tabular_ncube_recordlayout.xsd
      xml.xsd
    DDI_CR3_Notes.txt
    License.txt
    Readme.txt
