ur code can be little modified as follows to make it work flawlessly
       File database = new File("c:/Domain/nbi.bbsrc.ac.uk/Users/zer/gd");
              if (database.exists() && database.isDirectory()) {
                  //String datafiles[] = database.list();
                  //Instead use file list here
                  File[] datafiles = database.listFiles();
                  for (int i = 0; i < datafiles.length; i++) {
                  //    System.out.println("processing file: " + database.getAbsolutePath() +
                  //            "/" + datafiles[0]);
                   System.out.println("processing file: " + datafiles.getName());
} else {
System.out.println("Database exists: "+database.exists()+"\nDatabase is Directory: "+database.isDirectory());
