Question: why do you need to duplicate the filesystem's directory
information in the DB?

Almost certainly.  Notice that you're using find_by_filename each time
through the loop.  That's a pretty good indication that something's
wrong; in general, database queries do not belong inside loops.  I'll
try to come up with something better, but first I'd like to know what
you're trying to achieve here.

Best,
