Not Empty Directory appears Empty with Matlab GUI

Hello.

I am using Matlab R13 and R14 and have come upon a very frustrating
problem.

We are using Matlab on a Linux RedHat Enterprise WS3 workstation, and
working on directories shared from an XServe/XRaid system via NFS.
When I cd into any of these directories in Matlab, the Current
Directory tab in Matlab shows nothing although the directory is not
empty and the ls command in Matlab shows the contents correctly.

This is a very frustrating problem as it does not allow us to select
any files via the GUI as it cannot see them.

If anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thank you.
