Basically you cant perform an ls -FC at the root of the cd unless:
a) you are root or
b) you have done an ls -FC in a subdirectory first
Just try follow the sequence of commands and watch the errors coming from ls...

Weird huh???
I sent it to this list as Im not sure where this problem lies.
For the record I am running 2.1.128 with the isofs as a loadable module.
PS. Im having all kinds of problems getting my awe-64 working (It never has), are their any known problems with it in 2.1.12* or is just me....
