Try "ls -lb" to see if there's any stray space or tab characters lurking after
the visible names. e.g.:
: ixodes:ttyp3; mkdir 'd1'
: ixodes:ttyp3; mkdir 'd1 '
: ixodes:ttyp3; ls -la
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 4 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 d1
drwxrwxr-x 2 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 d1
: ixodes:ttyp3; ls -lab
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 4 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 d1
drwxrwxr-x 2 jeremy users 1024 Sep 14 15:07 d1\
