Enhanced for loop with DirectoryStream in java 7

Question

Hi, I'm a newbie to Java and am having trouble with the following code, which I'm trying to use to iterate through a directory and obtain the file names of all the pics to create thumbnails of them.
I've done hours and hours of searching on the web and find no answer for this one, so it's probably something very simple I've screwed up.
All assitance is appreciated.
The code segment:
        try (DirectoryStream<Path> ds =
          Files.newDirectoryStream(FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(dirNew)))
              System.out.println("at dirstream");
              System.out.format("toString: %s%n", ds.toString());
            for (Path p : ds)
                // Iterate over the paths in the directory and print filenames
               System.out.println(p.getFileName());
               System.out.println("at Path p : ds");
                thumbName = p.getFileName();
                createThumb(String.format("%s",thumbName));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("dirstream failed!!!");
//           e.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("atend of dirstream");and the output:
run:
/home/rich/Images/FromWeb-Misc/1
at dirstream
toString: sun.nio.fs.UnixSecureDirectoryStream@196b20e
atend of dirstream

With the versions of NetBeans I use you can set breakpoints BEFORE and even ON the loop! Being able to set them inside a loop is just a no-cost extra. ;)I know! But you said "IN THE LOOP" :D The poor guy will set his breakpoint in it and think his debugger is broken ;)
Relax - take a deep breath - repeat after me
