That is the correct way to do it.  The FILENAMES has been deprecated for years, 
and was finally removed.

I've got something I put together back in about 2002 that might help you

Basically you do:

i = index

<dirname>/<filename> = Dirnames[Dirindexes[i]]/Basenames[i]

Pretty simple to reconcile, it's just three structures instead of one.
