Default File system errors: "cannot get current working directory"

(SCO 506, running Vision 3.10.911)

A win2k client is running something call MaxiMirror, which, essentially copies
files from one location to another. Here, the app copies 3 gigabyte sized files
from the local drive to a (Vision) network drive. (Upon sober reflection, it
might also re-create the target directory.) The only thing wrong is that if I'm
at the prompt, in the target directory, when the app runs, I am then unable to
view the directory, thus:

(before)
/u/qt/backup: l
total 3739820
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 635715584 Sep 27 04:13 QTDBA.exp
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 30258 Sep 27 04:13 QTDBA.log
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 635736064 Sep 28 04:14 QTDBB.exp
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 30258 Sep 28 04:14 QTDBB.log
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 635754496 Sep 29 04:14 QTDBC.exp
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 30258 Sep 29 04:14 QTDBC.log

(after)
/u/qt/backup: l
l: warning: cannot get current working directory: Not a directory (error 20)
l: . not found: Not a directory (error 20)

Now, a simple cd command (to the same directory) will solve my problem, but
what's going on here?
