Given that the debug output has "attrib +S" but the code at top has
"attrib +H", and that the debug output has "test 0 -gt 0" that the
code doesn't have just before the loop exit, it is probably necessary
for you to publish the actual code that's failing, even if it has
details that you're "100% certain" are irrelevant and unimportant.
