Don't know why it would croak on array contents if they are valid for a dir. have you checked the value in the array to make sure it yields a valid dir path? If so, can you create an intermediate variable:

Mydir = _arRegSet[11,2]+'\*.*'
* Check for valid dir string here
nNumFiles = adir(arFileList,Mydir)
IF nNumfiles = 0
* something is wrong
ELSE
* run your code
ENDIF
