Ls command question

Ls command question
I am scratching my head right now. I am trying to archive a ton of files in a directory. I am attempting to tar them by year. On our development server if I type ls *_2008* it returns all of the files I am expecting to see. (The format of the filename includes xx_xx_xxx_2008-09-29_xxx.xxxx.xxxx) When I run the same command on the production server it says file or directory not found. Yet when I do a simple ls I see tons of files that I would expect to come back with the pervious ls command.
Any ideas why it works fine on our development system and does not work on production?
Thanks!
Jeff
