What happens if you get rid of that eregi() function?  Does it show you 
all of your files?  If so, then the problem is the regex in your eregi().

         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This regex will match only files that obey the following rules:
1. may or may not start with a slash
2. next character must be an underscore
3. next 4 characters must be digits
4. next character must be a dot
5. next 3 characters must be "jpg"
6. case doesn't matter

Are you sure you have files that meet the above 6 rules in your 
directory?  If you don't, then nothing will be displayed.  Are you sure 
that your "/path/to/directory" is a real path to a real directory?  etc 
etc
