The directories where these files and subdirectories are becoming "hidden" I created myself, so there are no ".filename" files. I also double checked to make sure that the ls command is /usr/bin is not aliased. Doesn't "ls -a" display hidden files anyway? These files still don't appear in the list when I type "ls -a".

Use the alias command to see if the ls command is aliased in a way which would 'hide' the files that you should still be seeing or do the following:
/usr/bin/ls -l
If you see all the files, then it is either an alias or how your path is set. You can double check with 'which ls'
