samba - Jan 2008 - samba+linux server+windows share can't find a file

Hi, 

   The environment:  The linux server install the Mandriva. And this is a
samba server for sharing documents. All the clients are windows XP.

   There was a strange thing. There was a file which I can find in the
windows client. But I can't find this file in the linux even if I use the
command "#ls -a"

   At the same time, this file was not read and hided. You couldn't open and
delete it. As this file exist some document can't be found but it is exist.

   When I deleted some files in this folder, some files appeared. I also
tried to use the root to delete the folder and recreate a new folder, I
copied these files to

   the folder and the same status happened again.

   I don't know why? If you have some advice, please tell me. Thanks.
