I'm not quite sure what to make of that in the format presented. The only 
opendir I see there appears to be on what might be line 5??

Anyway, I suggest that you stick some echo's in your code in appropriate 
places to maybe return the string that is being passed to the offending 
function, and maybe do a query on the perms of the offending item to see 
if that gives any clues.
