We checked and try with root, but we have exactly the same problem.

Hi,
perhaps some garbage character has sneaked into the filename. Try listing the dir name by:
# ls -ldb
or
ls -ld | cat -v
in order to display special characters.

Hi

This will be bad characters

does

cd first_few_letters* work

Check whether the dirname is a link to a real directory. In this case, if real directory is deleted or renamed, cd to the link is problematic.

Hi again
please go into the directory above the one you cannot access and execute:
# ls -b
or
# ls | cat -v
and look for the file name, or something similar, in the output.

regards,

Has the directory execution right ?

# chmod 400 my_dir
# cd my_dir
/usr/dt/bin/dtksh: cd: my_dir: [Permission denied]

hi

Plz check the permission

#ls -la

If u r not finding proper permission, make req. permission. (User-Group-Others)

The below shows the all permission to the user. (for checking u can use this and then change as required)

#chmod 777

ALL THE BEST

Hi

Is this directory nfs

Then you could get this

ll directory

What does it give

Hi

It looks like NFS/FS mount.

could u provide
*) BDF Output
*) fstab
*) mnttab
*) ls -la

This will help us to find out the root cause.

Could be a filesystem corruption .. Unmount and then "fsck -y "

All other options came into mind are already posted.

Regds,
