ftp and nfs missing files bug(s)?

[Felix Miata <mrmazda earthlink net>]

I have many multiboot Linux systems, mostly openSUSE but also Knoppix, 
Gentoo, Fedora, *buntu & Mageia/Mandriva, and in their hotlists I have the 
following:

ENTRY "gwdg.de opensuse" URL "/#ftp:ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse"

In 4.8.3 when I use that entry the first time in a session, all entries 
except .. and a pub entry that does not belong are missing. I can type in cd 
repositories or distribution or factory and reach the desired locations, 
after which going to .. gets the pub/opensuse files listing that should have 
been there in the first place.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dfsee-support/message/14213 describes a 
similar missing files problem I see using NFS mounts that I've yet to see 
with any local or CIFS mounts.
