Thanks! I thought it was something to do with the sed line. I'm not the best with regular expressions. Also, thanks for the tip on putting that stuff into another file as a script. I'll do that right away. Now, does anyone see what's wrong with the sed script? Is there a better way than that to set different icons on different files? Using sed feels really hacky.

Ok, so I have some dynamic menus (FuncFvwmMenuDirectory) I use for browsing certain directories on my drive. Mostly my documents, movies and music directories. They worked and still partially do. Recently I modified my menus a bit and now my dynamic menus only allow me to browse 2 directories deep. It simply wont do anything if I try to browse deeper than that. My fvwm configuration is available for your viewing pleasure at http://apreche.net/~apreche/fvwm2rc
On the second try, I can reproduce your problem. Your large "sed" line seems buggy, if you remove the pipe to sed, it will work well.
Like I suggested in the previous message, don't code unix commands in fvwm config directly (unless you are good in debugging of such things). Instead, create a shell script my-fvwm-menu that gets one parameter (dir name) and does all the work, like setting icons/titles and calling fvwm-menu-directory with correct parameters, and filtering using sed, if needed.
Then test this my-fvwm-menu script from the command line, and after you verified it works for all your directories, use it like this:
DestroyFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory AddToFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory + I PipeRead `my-fvwm-menu '$0'`
The DestroyFunc line is very important when you debug your config, it ensures you always replace the function (or menu) definition and not unintentionally add to the previous definition.
