Hi -- Sorry about the slowness to respond to this. I think you're really close here, but I'm not sure how to explain the issue.

First off, I gather that a bunch of the stuff at the top of this latest version of yours is not relevant to the problem: your "%directories" hash, the "get_rootdir" sub and the $root(link|user|name variables are all no-ops. You are just using File::Find on whatever the current working directory happens to be.

So, putting all that extra stuff aside, the only change I think you need in the operative code is this: 

sub wanted {
  local $_ = $File::Find::name;
  if ( -f ) {          # only work on data files (skip directories)
    s{\Q$rootdir\E[\\/]}{}; # remove the rootdir string from the path 
+name
                            # ... ALONG WITH THE SUBSEQUENT "\" OR "/"
+ CHARACTER
    load_tree( $tree{$rootdir}, fileparse( $_ ));
  }
}

I think the point here is: once you get into the first subdirectory, removing just the "$rootdir" string leaves $_ with the path separator character at the start. That somehow causes fileparse() to not play nice with the recursive "load_tree" function. Anyway, try that out and see if it helps.
