is that code cut and pasted from your actual program?

the easiest way to get that error is to make a typo in the
argument list, e.g:

    def parseLogs(path, custs):

another way is to put the for loop inside another loop, and
put a "del paths" somewhere in there...

if the error persists, cut out as much stuff as possible from
the parseLogs function, and post the whole thing.
