Q:

Unable to cd to directory which I own with permissions 777

This is on a customized Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD. I have a directory which the default user "ubuntu" owns, and the permissions on the directory is 777. I'm unable to cd into the directory as ubuntu user. However as root user I'm able to access it. What could be the reason? I'm able to view the directory in nautilus.
Note: I originally copied the folder over from an NTFS disk.

A:

Can you give the output of
ls -la /your/directory

and
groups ubuntu

?
