On the second try, I can reproduce your problem. Your large "sed" line
seems buggy, if you remove the pipe to sed, it will work well.
Like I suggested in the previous message, don't code unix commands in
fvwm config directly (unless you are good in debugging of such things).
Instead, create a shell script my-fvwm-menu that gets one parameter
(dir name) and does all the work, like setting icons/titles and calling
fvwm-menu-directory with correct parameters, and filtering using sed,
if needed.
Then test this my-fvwm-menu script from the command line, and after you
verified it works for all your directories, use it like this:
DestroyFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
AddToFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
+ I PipeRead `my-fvwm-menu '$0'`
The DestroyFunc line is very important when you debug your config, it
ensures you always replace the function (or menu) definition and not
unintentionally add to the previous definition.
