Were there any errors reported in /var/adm/messages, or do you see any logged via fmdump?
In Solaris 10, 'ls' will not print any error message if reading from a directory fails. (Fixed in Nevada.) If something damaged a directory (including ZFS detecting a checksum error), its contents (or some of them) may appear to vanish without any error being printed. You can see the error returned via 'truss' of the ls command, but since you've already recovered from snapshots, your file system may not be in the failed state any more. (However, as noted, backing up your data now -- onto a *fresh* backup, not replacing any existing backup -- is a very good idea.)
