I test with 2.6.32-19 today (*) on a debian sid (i686). The problem is still there.
I test also with an old 2.6.32 version (2.6.32-8) : same problem.
With 2.6.26-21 and 2.6.26-24 (from lenny) on this same host (debian sid i686)
there is no problem : i can see all files and directories.

Thank you,

Guy
