readdir() returns a list of filenames without the path.  You need to
chdir() to the appropriate directory, or append the path to the filenames
after you have read them in.

Since there is no path, the files cannot be found, and FSpGetCatInfo() is
presumably returning undef.  You should check for this error condition.
