Actually, this leads me to believe that you might indeed be running into a
problem with the total number of files. The find_file.pro procedure I posted
earlier might help you.

The core of that routine is using spawn,/noshell. You might be able to do the
same thing with a command like

spawn,/noshell,['find',subdirectory,'-name','*.dat','-print' ],files

P.S. I still suggest first verifying that subdirectory isn't blank.
