Unfortunatly, the directory content is changing all the time and I
don't know how many files will be dumped at any given moment, so
keeping track of the list myself will be difficult (offcourse having
the "dumping" applications notify me when and what they are dumping
might be an option, I will look into that.)

Anyway, thanks to all for your replies.
