As an aside, I'm not sure what file system you are using, but in my experience for a lot of file systems putting that many files into a singe directory can cause system performance to suffer immensely.. I don't recall the exact number (it's been several years, and I found it the hard way) but I remember hitting a limit with NTFS where I was unabe to copy more than around 40K files into a single directory
Also it seems a bit like you are re-inventing the wheel as it were, have you considered trying WINDIFF? it has a function that compares directories of files and indicates the differences.
