ls / rm etc return "no such file or directory"

Files/directories in this mode only occur on the system when created from
within cygwin.  In this instance, it was created by FileUtils::mkdir_p in a
cygwin ruby script.  It went into this mode after attempting to remove it
with FileUtils::rm_rf 

Incidentally, that may be the trick -- there might be something broken in
FileUtils::rm_rf when running on cygwin.  I will refrain from using it.
