Try
   dirEntries(directory, SpanMode.shallow, false)
because the problematic folders you mentioned might be symlinks.

I've got an app which can scan whole drive 
(https://bitbucket.org/infognition/undup) and there I used this 
way of calling dirEntries and catching FileException was enough 
to work fine in Windows 8.1. However I haven't tried yet to 
compile with DMD 2.064, some earlier version was used. Which 
compiler and what mode (release/debug) did you use?
