If a directory exists, but does not show up with an ls, 2 things are possible that I can think of right now. 1) It is a hidden file. If it starts with a . , it will only show up with a ls -a. 2) You can gove someone permission to get to the files of a directory, but not do an ls to find out what the files are. Since there is a directory missing, rather than the contents of the directory, this is likely not the case. It is the execute permission on the directory that causes this.
This is really more of a general Unix/Linux question than a PHP/DB question. You may want to try a more general list.
