Trailing slashes have also tripped me up in this sort of situation.

Here again, a trailing slash will make a big difference:

   [heinlein]$ ls projects
   projects@
   [heinlein]$ ls projects/
   ataboy/         eduspam/         net-snmp/       solaris/
   build/          ldap/            oneoffs/        src/      xml/
   dirscan/        linux/           random/         tmp/      xxxapache
   doc/            log.springer.gz  retreat/        tmp2/     y2k/

That'd be my hunch.
