>I don't use Linux, but I think it might be a problem with what you have 
on the command line. I believe that Linux expands wildcarded names, so 
what you might be getting is "samples" followed by all the names in the 
current directory that match "*.xml".
Even if that isn't the case, and mask is "*.xml", the filtering that 
you're doing is asking for those names that end with "*.xml"; you might 
find a name that ends with ".xml", but I doubt you'll ever find one that 
ends with "*.xml"!
