Great! The description of the function had put me on the wrong foot. It is talking about properties of **documents**:
>>> xdmp:directory-properties( $uri as xs:string, [$depth as xs:string] ) as document-node()* Summary: Returns a sequence of properties documents, one for each **document** in the specified directory that has a corresponding properties document. <<< Perhaps the documentation should be updated..
