I'm not any kind of htdig expert, but ..
on my sites, I discovered, (the slow way) that htdig recurses down from
the start page that you give it in the config file.  If there is not a
path of links on pages, starting at the start page, that gets you to the
subdirectory you mention, then those pages will not be fetched and
indexed.  This happened to me when I set <noindex> tags around my
navigation bar on all pages.  I needed to leave the nav bar indexable, at
least on the front page, so that there were references to all sections.
Hope this helps!
