This may be a really dumb question, but could someone point me in the

You needed to look closer at NSFileManager. One of the sections in
"Methods by Task" is "Discovering directory contents."
You can get an array containing the names of the immediate contents
of a directory with directoryContentsAtPath:.
You can get an object that lets you iterate through the entire
directory tree with enumeratorAtPath:
There's also subpathsAtPath: which returns an array of the whole tree
(and seems gratuitous to me).
