Its about the following line of code:

current_fullpaths.add( os.path.join(root, files) )


that presents the following error:

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'list' object has no attribute 'startsw=
ith'=20
      args =3D ("'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'",)=20
      message =3D "'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'"

join calls some module that find difficulty when parsing its line:

 /usr/lib64/python2.6/posixpath.py in join(a=3D'/home/nikos/public_html/dat=
a/files/', *p=3D(['\xce\x9a\xcf\x8d\xcf\x81\xce\xb9\xce\xb5 \xce\x99\xce\xb=
