What is the output of (without the trailing slash and with -d):

  ls -ld csf

I suspect that you are missing the 'x' search permission bit but have
the 'r' bit.  You can read the directory but cannot search it.  To fix
this add the 'x' bit back to the directory.  If it is a directory.

  chmod a+x csf
