Readline doesn't have any built-in knowledge of Unix pathnames. You might want to take a look at emacs-mode M-b, which moves backward by strings of alphabetic characters, and M-f, which moves forward. You might have to play around with a macro that moves forward additional characters past the `/', but that should get you further.
