Thanks for the hint with -follow it worked, but the directory 1000 is not a symbolic link as you can see

$ find . -name 1000\* -follow
./1000.zip
./1000
./1000/1000.zip

$ ls -ld 1000
drwxr-xr-x    2 f.braunb unknown         0 Jan 31 08:33 1000

$ ls -l 1000*
-rw-r--r--    1 f.braunb unknown  162114808 Jan 30 14:57 1000.zip

1000:
total 158316
-rw-r--r--    1 f.braunb unknown  162114808 Jan 31 08:33 1000.zip

Could this be a bug?
