What os are you on?

I did "man readdir" and "man dirent" and found enough information. One
bit from the dirent manpage:

BUGS
     The usage of the member d_type of struct dirent is unportable as it is
     FreeBSD-specific.  It also may fail on certain filesystems, for example
     the cd9660 filesystem.

Maybe that's hitting you ...

HTH,
