@ sign in permissions?

I am using Mac OS X version 10.5.7, and had a problem accessing a folder on our shared area network. I logged in via terminal (bash shell), and did a ls -l on the main directory, and the directory that isn't showing up has an @ sign at the end:

rwxr-xr-x@ 19 admin staff 2048 Jun 1 07:53 Users


I cannot find what the @ sign means anywhere nor how to change it. I am thinking maybe it accidentally got set to a hidden or system directory? The permissions are controlled via ACL and Apple XSAN 1.4

Any help would be appreciated.
