This incantation works for me:

  def findFiles(dir: File, criterion: (File) => Boolean): Seq[File] = {
    if (dir.isFile) Seq()
    else {
      val (files, dirs) = dir.listFiles.partition(_.isFile)
      files.filter(criterion) ++ dirs.toSeq.map(findFiles(_, criterion)).foldLeft(Seq[File]())(_ ++ _)
    }
  }
