Your description here is extremely confusing. You've got two
asterisks here (which probably doesn't matter much -- "disk**" doesn't
glob to anything different than what "disk*" would have), and you say
that "disk*" is a variable instead of more properly referring to it as
the value of a variable (the variable seems to be "$1" here).
As a wild shot in the dark, try "ls $1*/*.jpg" .
