This looks like a nice compromise.

I wonder if it would be simpler to set non-zero exit only
if this is the first path returned from tree_next() (which
should be the path given on the command line).  That
would avoid the headache of having to perform a textual
path comparison.

A simple flag to indicate if this is the first time
through the loop should suffice, I think.
