That's my point.
There is no next line of code.

See the simplified (and shortened) code I sent:

target_file_list = master_directory_file_list[target_directory]
...
for path in master_directory_file_list.keys():
     files = master_directory_file_list[path]
     for name in files:
         if name in target_file_list:


If name is not in the target list it just falls off the end
and goes back to get the next name.

So what do you think is being executed and why?
