No, but a while back a had a problem that looks like the same root
cause. This was with larch, however, not tla. I'll quote an old message
of mine, written June 22, 2003 to the old [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list, message-id [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
  [...]
  I think this is because Microsoft's FTP server has a buggy NLST
  command:
    Client: NLST /bclg/wwwiup/{archives}/test
    Server: /bclg/wwwiup/{archives}/test\=meta-info
  First, it doesn't include dotfiles in its output. Second, it uses a
  backslash as the final path delimiter.
  [...]

I can't offer you access to my account, but perhaps Stefan can confirm
if this is the problem via tcpdump or otherwise. Probably other FTP
clients have a workaround for this problem we could employ. I recall
NcFTP in particular as being able to list those files (though NcFTP is
under some artistic license, not GPL).
