If it isn't shown with ls -la, the directory is hidden in a more sophisticated way .. (that's when it gets interesting)
If I do that in my ~ I'm sure I'll oversee that directory. ls --help shows '-Q' which puts the listed item in quotes which is nicer. (I hope I remember that for those smb-shares... ) But there are some tricks with control characters like "Carriage-Return" and "line-up" which could(?) overprint the line with the hidden dir with the following line.
