Nothing to do with std.file.listdir, just with your use of writefln. 
writefln treats strings as format strings, except when a previous format 
string told it to treat it literally. Try this one:

writefln("%s", File);

There have long been requests for write & writeln (without the 'f') that 
  just print out everything using the default formatting, but so far 
they haven't been implemented[1].
