Any ZLIB experts out there?

Anybody out there who's familiar with the OS/400 port of ZLIB?
We're developing a tool that is essentially a front-end for the MINIZIP utility supplied with the OS/400 port of ZLIB. Our tool basically either takes a single IFS directory and creates a ZIP archive with the contents of that directory, or steps through an entire IFS directory, performing the aforementioned conversion with every subdirectory in that directory. (There are a few added wrinkles, but they're not relevant to the problem at hand.)
At any rate, a customer tried this (with a test copy of the directory tree in question), and got a bunch of weird joblog messages. 

They started with (some names changed)
error in opening /foo/bar/baz/EAL 806 - SCU 2004 Rev 2.xls for reading 

After some completion messages, this was followed by

error opening /foo/bar/qux.zip

and

error in closing /foo/bar/qux.zip.

and

Program minizip completed with return code -102

and then over a thousand PAGES of

Can anybody explain what's going on here? This isn't making a whole lot of sense.
