Wild guess, but I'm thinking your webserver process doesn't have
permissions to look in your directory.
Following is alternating root shell and IPython shell:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # chmod 777 /bam
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # ls -ld /bam
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 96 Jul 8 14:53 /bam
In [4]: glob.glob("/bam/*txt")
Out[4]: ['/bam/foo.txt', '/bam/bar.txt']
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # chmod 000 /bam
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # ls -ld /bam
d- 2 root root 96 Jul 8 14:53 /bam
In [5]: glob.glob("/bam/*txt")
Out[5]: []
HTH,
