NSDirectoryEnumerator and URLs

Hello all,

I'm using a directory enumerator to recurse through a series of directories, and it always fails after going through a certain number of enumerations.  If I enumerate through the same directory over and over, it tends to fail in about the same place, but if I enumerate through other directories, it will fail but after completing a different number of enumerations, so I don't think it's necessarily a memory thing or something wrong with my file system.

It always comes back with the same error number (256), which macerror cannot identify:

"2010-01-13 10:14:34.078 afindex[821:1b03] directoryEnumerator failed on enum 1598, error description: The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (NSCocoaErrorDomain error 256.)"

Here's my code, I can't figure out why it's failing...

/* enumeration.m */

__block NSUInteger i = 0;
NSFileManager *fm = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
NSDirectoryEnumerator *dirEnum = [fm enumeratorAtURL:folderURL
                includingPropertiesForKeys:nil
                              options:NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles ^ NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsPackageDescendants
                          errorHandler:^(NSURL *url, NSError *error){
                             NSLog(@"directoryEnumerator failed on enum %i, error description: %@",i,[error localizedDescription]);
                             return NO;
                          }];


NSAutoreleasePool *ap = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSURL *aPath;
while (aPath = [dirEnum nextObject]) {
if ( 1 ) {
  NSDictionary *metadataDict = [engine metadataDictionaryForFile:[aPath path] ];
  [database indexMetadata:metadataDict forFileAtURL:aPath];
}
if (++i % 50 == 0 ) {
  [ap release];
  ap = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
}

}
[path release];
[ap release];
[fm release];_______________________________________________
