It's a little ambigous as a problem, but I have three possibles as a first stab:-
- A file that matches your ls *MYFILE* has a space in it. The shell will expand the *MYFILE* to match every file in the filesystem before issuing the ls
- You have a symbolic link to somewhere that does not exist and your ls in the current directory is trying to follow it, but the ls from a symbolically linked directory does not.
- A combination of the two?
Does that help at all?
