I can guess. The getdirentries() stuff was quite a hassle to get through in 10.5. 
For some reason, Apple did not put any hooks into that part which led to that I had to
reimplement getdirentries(). That wasn't fun. If for some reason, the hooks are there now,
it might be better to utilize Apple's code instead.

Btw. Thanks for accepting the challenge of digging into my old code.
Unfortunately I don't have the time or energy to get much into it anymore. 
I'm on the list though and will be watching with interested eyes, so feel free to ask things.
