I'm trying to pull video files from a folder... Another piece of software generates the files ad infinitum, so I'd like a sort of loop which reads all video files from the folder and adds them to a umenu (after a clear). It sounds like I need to use the folder object.

However, the folder object seems to refuse to list the files in a folder which exists, or, some of them:

D:/Dropox/etc/etc/data definitely does not print files.

umenu can populate itself with files of a folder. look at the prefix attribute.
