OK. So you will have PDF files in multiple folders in the file hierarchy rooted in $SYSDIR.

What are you hoping to produce? Are you trying to produce:
  1. one XML file in $RSSDIR for all of the PDF files in and under $SYSDIR,
  2. one XML file in $RSSDIR for each directory in and under $SYSDIR containing one or more PDF files, or
  3. one XML file in a subdirectory under $RSSDIR corresponding to each subdirectory under $SYSDIR containing one or more PDF files?
What data is supposed to be included with the <description> tags in your XML file(s) for each PDF file?
