Neil, It would help if you could point to an existing tool that works the way you want. I don't know of any that deal with arbitrary nested directories containing arbitrary files. A new composite datatype could impose a structure that a tool could be written to deal with (eg the pbed datatype used in some rgenetics tools) but arbitrary data structures are not going to be possible AFAIK. You're unlikely to get useful help without a much more complete and clear explanation of the problem.
