What worked?  I counted a dozen or so distinct suggestions, not 
necessarily mutually exclusive.

 1. Build the combined string with a loop.
 2. Use Guava libraries.
 3. Use Apache libraries.
 4. list.toString()
 5. Move the list creation to before the loop.
 6. Arrays.toString(list.toArray())
 7. Don't bother trying to compose a string.
 8. Create a fixed-size list using Arrays.asList.
 9. Create a fully mutable list using new ArrayList(Arrays.asList)
10. Create a File object representing the filename you're looking for,
    and test directly.
11. Use FastCat.
12. Use StringBuilder.
13. Use getPath().
14. Use getName().
