Interesting, thanks.  This appears to work for what I was trying to do:

parallel -S $SERVER1 --return a/b/./{} 'touch {}' ::: d

This will create a file d, but save it on the local machine in a/b/d.
I was trying to avoid having the remote server know about where I
wanted to save the file on the local machine, and this appears to
work.  Thanks again.
