I have a file system that allows two different files with the same name in a given directory tree

The OP said "foo" should be returned for 

foo.rtf
data\foo.ftp

[download]

He didn't say it shouldn't return "foo" for 

foo.rtf
data\foo.ftp
atad\foo.ftp

[download]

Can this situation happen? Dunno. I chose to support it, and I pointed out that yours doesn't.

Actually, yours doesn't even work for the case the OP mentioned explicitly, even after one fixes the compilation error.
