you have to set the directory to the appropriate directory to get the 
files.

Try this workaround:

on xxx
   put the directory into olddir ## store the original dir
   set the directory to "s:/ome/far/away/directory"
   put the files into remote_files
   ## do your file-stuff here...
   set the directory to olddir
end xxx

Hope this helps...
