Here, you're simply discarding the result from the recursive call. Try  
something like this:

              result = findFile(full_path)
              if result is not None:
                  return result

Now, what happens if you forget about findFile and try with a direct name  
instead?

fpath =  
r"E:\DataSet\Unicode\UnicodeFiles_8859\001_0006_test_folder\0003testUnicode_ÍÎIÐNOKÔÕÖ×ØUÚÛÜUUßaáâãäåæicéeëeíîidnokôõö÷øuúûüuu.txt.txt"
st = os.stat(path)
print st
