I am seeing the same issue when file_scan_directory is used in D7Beta3.

OK, I took a little time to look at the code and can see what is happening. The call to preg_match in file_scan_directory is failing because the mask parameter is not being passed correctly. This is a PHP error and the problem is that $mask expects the regex to properly delimited with '/..../'.

When calling file_scan_directory ensure that the $mask parameter is properly formatted. Check preg_match php docs for more info.

This is not a bug so am changing the status to closed works as designed.
