using the "source" command in a "for" loop

I was using this with "zsh-2.6-beta13" in .zshenv
export ZDOTDIR=$homedir/Unix/zsh/source/
for i in `/bin/ls -1 $ZDOTDIR`
do
echo -n "Sourcing $i... "
# source the file
source "$ZDOTDIR/$i"
# set up variables using the filenames
$i="$ZDOTDIR/$i"
echo "done"
done
now with 3.0.2 I get this:
/Users/luomat/.zshenv: no such file or directory:
aliases=/Users/luomat/Unix/zsh/source//aliases [91]
(where "aliases" is a filename)
this was a handy thing, where I could add or remove files to be
sourced simply by putting them in or taking them out of the folder.
AND I also got a variable made at the same time, which was handy
because then I could do "pico $aliases" rather than "pico
$ZDOTDIR/aliases" which I always seem to fumble over.
Is there a new way to do this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
