WinSCP does not see file that is there

I am running Winscp 4.2.7 build 758

A simple ftp session from Windows 2003 server works fine: 
C:\utils>ftp 192.168.xxx.xx

Connected to 192.168.xxx.xx.

220 MDVL1500 FTP server (Version 6.00) ready.

User (192.168.xxx.xx:(none)): xxxxxxxx

331 Login ok.

Password:

230- Logging in with home=/ibsr/primary/standard/

230 User xxxxxxxx logged in from 192.168.xxx.xx.

ftp> cd /ibsr/secondary/standard

When I attempt to convert this to a WinSCP script, it says the file does not exist although the file exists. I also cannot see the file in the WinSCP program. Here is the script and output: 
open mdvl_nt

cd /ibsr/secondary/standard

ls 020001.030001.00772.01.2

close


here is the command-line I used to start winscp (exe version): 
winscp /console /log=winscp.log /script=poll\mdvl_nt.txt

As you can see from the regular FTP connection, the file is indeede there, but winscp cannot see it?

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks
