some standard tips:

(if CONDITION (progn EXP ...))
=> (when CONDITION EXP ...)

(unless CONDITION (progn EXP ...))
=> (unless CONDITION EXP ...)

you can lift `file-name-sans-extension', like so:

(... (file-name-sans-extension file)
 ... (file-name-sans-extension file) ...)
=> (let ((fn-noext (file-name-sans-extension file)))
     (... fn-noext
      ... fn-noext ...))

generally, these transforms do not change your algorithm,
so it is only better in the sense that it is more easy to
read.  improving the algorithm is your sack of joy to haul.
