for the first line:

the first series of names as ["terrain", "fiche", "fiche_bien_terrain.odt"] is a string[]
element[0]="terrain"
element[1]="fiche"
element[2]="fiche_bien_terrain.odt"

You did want "terrain" as key instead as value
  sDataArray=Docs["terrain"] 
and then you have in
  sDataArray[0] the value "fiche"
  sDataArray[1] the value "fiche_bien_terrain.odt"

All arrays are indexed by number except the collection that can have number or text.

Your example Docs is stored as
__|     0                  |     1                    |      2                                 | <-- item number in the record
0 | "terrain"           | "fiche"                | "fiche_bien_terrain.odt"    |
1 | "terrain"           | "vitrine_horizon" | "vitrine_bien_terrain.odt"  |
2 | "appartement" | "fiche"                | "fiche_appart.odt"             |
3 | "batiment"       | "fiche"                | "fiche_bien_batiment.odt" |

^------- record number

I hope this explains why it not is working
