Ack, you're right - I failed to look at the second line and follow the
full logic.

Unfortunately I will _still_ have to change te Acorn file plugin code
because I made a mistake six years ago. :-( A dud directory name is not
being checked for until AFTER the 'no more files' condition, which means
that a #badpath doesn't actually get returned for a bad path. Foo.

We really need to do better at specifying this stuff. Hmm, sounds like
normal software industry.....
