GNUmed is perfectly capable of that. In fact, that was the first use case 
implemented.

Exactly what for and how would you like to "search for records" ? GNUmed 
certainly
wont be less functional than searching in a treeware archive but we may be able
to suggest specific metadata to add to imported scans and how to search for 
that.

IF you want to search by metadata, that is. If all you want is to search for 
docs by patient
- no problem at all.

That helps. Adding a good comment during import helps, too.

That very first path makes me think you might have CDed to that directory and
run gnumed.py directly from there ?

Or rather .../Gnumed (note the caps)

yep
