I use file on a directory and it works for me.  However, I specify the
directory using backticks, along with the directories contents, but I
don't know how that would change anything.  What I'm doing is checking
if someone changed the group ownership for entries (files or
subdirectories) in the directory "/var/named/", so that different
users in the same group can edit the files.  My client-local.cfg has:

[myhost]
file:`/bin/ls -a /var/named/ | sed
'/^\.$/d;/^\.\.$/d;/^lost+found$/d;s|^|/var/named/|'`:2048

This gives me lots of entries in my client data, each one showing the
perms, ownership, size, and so on.  One of them is:

[file:/var/named/master]
type:40000 (directory)
mode:2775 (drwxrwsr-x)
linkcount:3
owner:65535 (d619539)
group:44 (named)
size:4096
clock:1326866742 (2012/01/18-17:05:42)
atime:1326866742 (2012/01/18-17:05:42)
ctime:1326783927 (2012/01/17-18:05:27)
mtime:1326783927 (2012/01/17-18:05:27)

Then in my analysis.cfg I have this:

HOST=%^myhost
        FILE %/var/named/(\.[^\.]*|[^\.].*) yellow groupid=named

which detects when the group name is incorrect on any dirent not
starting with "..", and sets "file" to yellow.  I just tested this and
it works.
