You may want to check out my collection of MIF scripts for UNIX,
as they are more complete and versatile, IMHO:

My scripts also only work for files in the current directory;
it's easier to write the code for that "limitation".
But if you want the Adobe script to work that way, the modification
you need to do is:

foreach f (*.fm */*.fm */*/*.fm)

(add more similar entries depending on how many directory levels
you have)
Note that I added ".fm" to only pick up files with that extension.
That way you'll avoid other file types, book files, etc.
