Wierd autoload problems with nested directories

[Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I keep my completion functions in /home/ulf/lib/zsh/completions and
other, general-purpose functions in its parent dir, /home/ulf/lib/zsh.
For some reason, my completions will only work ('work' as in zsh not
using its default completion behaviour for the context in question) if
I place them in /home/ulf/lib/zsh.

I set the completion and other functions up for autoloading in two
sections of my .zshrc with the following code:


fpath=(/home/ulf/lib/zsh/completions $fpath)
autoload -U $fpath[1]/*(:t)

fpath=(/home/ulf/lib/zsh $fpath)
autoload -U $fpath[1]/*(:t)


print -l ${fpath[1,3]} yields

/home/ulf/lib/zsh/completions
/home/ulf/lib/zsh
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions

, as expected. I do not have KSH_AUTOLOAD nor any other options I
imagine could cause this problem set. My completion function (the only
one so far), stored in the file /home/ulf/lib/zsh/completions/_xmms
looks as follows:


#compdef xmms

local directories
directories=( /s/Music/**/(/) )
_files -W directories -g '*.(mp3|ogg)'


(It's not done yet, do not bug me about it :) )
