Freddy,
Hey, this is the same issue I am having with a mapped cifs share
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-08/msg00170.html). I tested it more
and when I do a ls *pl, I only see one file. But if I know the file
name I can run ls <filename> and it shows up and I can cat the file. I
just cannot use the * wildcard to see all files in the directory. For
me though, the dir command has the same problem as the ls command. At
least I know I am not the only one with this problem.
