Ok,

currently i workaround the problem. i created the needed maincats and
ran the indexing, but w/o the option indexing the subcategories too. i
works but it's not really nice to use if the client wants to add more
downloadable files.

maybe someone will have an idea how i could only start the indexing
inside the /fileadmin/downloads w/o having fileadmin and downloads added
to the categories...

thanks in advance.
