   require 'find'

   file_list = []
   start_path = "/path/to/directory/" <= the dir to start recursing  
from.

   Find.find(start_path) do |file|
       file_list << path unless test(?d, file)
   end

   p file_list

     This works unless I misunderstand what you are trying to do. See  
$ ri test for more info.
