Setting the search depth to none isn't intended for day to day use. It's mostly there for content testing purposes. It's recommended to set the search depth to at least shallow. That way it will find lights in .LTZ files and cameras in .CMZ.
Hmmm...
The two files I've seen this happen with, Head.obz and pointlite.obz, are part of Poser 11, and as stated on page 46 of the Poser 11 reference manual - "Please note that all content included with Poser is compressed."
Which would make it doubly bizarre that Poser itself didn't know that its own zipped files are zipped, wouldn't it ?
I think what Andy (donnena) said, to paraphrase "the fact that it opens at the correct folder is a red herring", is probably the key. My guess is that it's because Poser is erroneously looking for Head.obz/obj and pointlite.obz/obj in the default Poser location, C:\Users\\Documents\Poser 11 Content\Runtime\Geometries\ even if the user installed the Poser built-in content to a different location, as I did.
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
