Try running "find . -mtime -1" (-print is assumed) and look at the
output. In addition to files, find returns directories that match the
criteria. Add "-type f" if you only want files. If you invoke "ls -l"
on a directory it prints the directory's contents rather than printing
its name -- you can supply it with "-d" if you wish for it to list
directory names insted of contents. I think that's what you are seeing
here.
