Hey,
  I'm unfamiliar with ytree, this is just a quick note to say please read
the quoted part of email you just sent, specifically:

When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
> than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-users digest..."

and snip any non-relevent parts of the digest.

  This will help you get the responses you're after.

cheers,
Owen.
