I guess you should list files and not dirs. 
Are you sure "somedata" is a file ?

What i've done before to include everything inside a datadir is:

     data_files = [("share/MyApp",map(lambda x: 'MyAppData/'+x, os.listdir("MyAppData")))], # include all MyAppData/ content

You could also use "['MyAppData/'+x for x in os.listdir("MyAppData")]"
there instead of that map call.


Best regards,
