Try something like

fl<-list()
for (ix in id) {
        fl[[basename(ix)]] <- list.files(ix)
}
But read R Inferno on inrementing objects first. It isn't efficient in memory 
terms (unless that's improved in recent versions of R)
 
Rather more elegantly you can get the same list with

sapply(id, function(ix) list.files(ix))
