SQL Server Stored Procedure to Return Details on Files in Directory

Hi.  I have the following procedure which I found, which seems to work well.   It accepts a single parameter of a file path.  It then inserts records containing details for each file in that path.

The problem I am experiencing is that after the 255th iteration of the While loop it inserts the same file name and details into the result table usr_EJ_FILE_PATHS for all remaining iterations.  

I've stepped through it for a while and I can't seem to see anything wrong with the counter variables.   Thanks in advance if you can see what is wrong with this.  

 
USE [STORESQL]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[usp_GetDirDetails]    Script Date: 9/19/2015 3:30:20 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_GetDirDetails]
/**************************************************************************************************
 Purpose:
 Replacement code for the sp_GetFileDetails proc that was available in SQL Server 2000 
 which is no longer available in SQL Server 2005 except this gets all the file details 
 for all the files in the directory provided.

 Notes:
 1. If the directory does not exist or there are no files in the directory, an empty
    result set will be returned.
 2. If the trailing backslash on the path is missing, it will be added automatically.
 3. No error checking is done.  Either a valid result set is returned or an empty
    result set is returned (much like a function operates).

 Usage:
 EXEC dbo.GetDirDetails 'drive:path or UNC'

 Example:
 EXEC dbo.GetDirDetails 'C:\Temp'
 ... or ...
 EXEC dbo.GetDirDetails 'C:\Temp\'

 Revision History:
 Rev 00 - 05/23/2008 - Jeff Moden
                     - Initial concept borrowed from Simple-Talk.com (Phil Factor) and
                       modified for multiple files.
 Rev 01 - 05/25/2008 - Jeff Moden
                     - Formalize the code for use.
