Did you get the path of the returned TreeWalk?

I'll bet its the first file of the test/files/working subdirectory.
Because the TreeWalk was setRecursive(true) and a PathFilter was
installed for tests/files/working, TreeWalk stopped on the first file
that matched that name, or that was in a subdirectory that matched
that name.  Its not looking at subdirectories at all.

Basically, forPath can only be used on files.  If you use it on a
directory path, its comes back with bad results.  Like this.
