raise "Cannot authenticate with KnowledgeTree: #{response.message}" unless response.status_code == 0

session = response.message

content = driver.get_folder_contents(session, 1, 1,  'DF' )

raise "Cannot obtain folder contents on root folder: #{response.message}" unless response.status_code == 0

content.items.each do | item |
