IIUC, this does not do a recursive enumeration though...

...whereas this does (I gather - I don't have find-lisp-find-files
either, so it's probably some add-on that the OP installed).

Back to the original problem: does

      (find-lisp-find-files "/home/user/important-directory" "\.org$")

enumerate the "missing" file? What does it return?
