We had the same problems with some of our folders.  It seems if you have
the world does not have read access to a folder, then the workspace
is not able to read it.  Open a folder that the contents disappear
and then change the protection on that directory from a shell and
the files in that directory will appear in that window.

p.s. folks at sgi - is this a bug or a feature?
