Looks OK.

As David suggests, are you *sure* you have the names right? Try copying
the directory and file names out of IDL into your shell console and back
again to make sure.

Can you get findfile to work as you expect on *any* directory?

Perhaps findfile fails because there are *too many* files in the
directory. I vaguely recall references to problems such as this on this
group. I am too lazy to Google the group to confirm this, but you could
give it a try.
