Prove it or disprove it, by adding some printing. Here is a starting 
point:

> line 1 - scbase = File.open(source, 'rb') { |f| Marshal.load f }
STDERR.puts scbase.inspect
> line 2 - scbase.each do |myfiles|
STDERR.puts "Processing #{myfiles.inspect}"
> line 3 -        myfiles[1].gsub! ':', ' '
> line 4 -        path = folder + myfiles[1] + '.txt'
STDERR.puts "path = #{path.inspect}"
> line 5 -        myfiles_text = Zlib::Inflate.inflate(myfiles[2])
STDERR.puts "read #{myfiles_text.size} characters"
> line 6 -        File.open(path, 'wb')  {|file| file.write
(myfiles_text) }
STDERR.puts "written #{path.inspect}"
> line 7 - end

As you find out exactly which lines are or are not being executed, then 
add further debugging.

Seems unlikely. Loops don't just silently restart, and you are not 
catching any exceptions.

One thought: what version of ruby are your running under?

Your example has a filename containing "*", but that is an ASCII char. 
If you really have non-ASCII characters, then ruby 1.9 may barf in 
unexpected ways. But this still doesn't explain what you describe.
