Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic

Upgraded to Feisty and kernel 2.6.20-15-generic. Encountered a strange
bug for NFS mounts: directories starting with a dot do not work.
Example:

slurm ~ 1 % ls -la .emerald
ls: .emerald: Not a directory
slurm ~ 2 % ls -lad .emerald
drwxr-xr-x 5 root shadow 8192 May  3 15:58 .emerald
slurm ~ 3 % stat .emerald   
  File: `.emerald'
  Size: 8192            Blocks: 16         IO Block: 65536  directory
Device: 15h/21d Inode: 595313      Links: 5
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (   42/  shadow)
Access: 2007-05-04 13:50:05.436667000 +0300
Modify: 2007-05-03 15:58:32.480816000 +0300
Change: 2007-05-03 15:58:32.480816000 +0300
slurm ~ 4 % cd .emerald
cd: not a directory: .emerald

The mount works fine using kernel 2.6.17-10 (but it has problems with
Nvidia drivers) and other OSs. I'm sure some one else should have
spotted this problem, but I can't figure out what the problem could be
in my case.
