No, but a while back a had a problem that looks like the same root

  I think this is because Microsoft's FTP server has a buggy NLST
  command:
    Client: NLST /bclg/wwwiup/{archives}/test
    Server: /bclg/wwwiup/{archives}/test\=meta-info
  First, it doesn't include dotfiles in its output. Second, it uses a
  backslash as the final path delimiter.

I can't offer you access to my account, but perhaps Stefan can confirm
if this is the problem via tcpdump or otherwise. Probably other FTP
clients have a workaround for this problem we could employ. I recall
NcFTP in particular as being able to list those files (though NcFTP is
under some artistic license, not GPL).

Thank you very much for the information.  I hope Stefan can verify if this is indeed the problem (and it seems likely).

If so, then it is time to explore working around the wonderful world of Microsoft FTP...
