Do you have the "x" execute bit set? Remember in samba the "x" gives descend into directory permission. Make sure you "chmod 0755 dirname" or at least "chmod 0750 dirname" on the directory you can't see and I'll bet you can see it then.
Actually, the x bit is required to do more than enumerate the contents of a directory (e.g., to open a file within that directory or to cd into it) in all Unix and Linux systems and has nothing to do with Samba. Conversely, one need not have read access to a directory to access an entry within it if you know the name (and the x bit is set). Without read access, you will not be able enumerate the directory's contents to discover what's in there.
