Weird directory problem

[mace]

I have several virtual Suse linux servers on a mainframe. As some of you know (and have helped with) I have been doing some scripting work to simplify the db admins job.
I have gotten the script to work on my test box and move/copy it to a production test box. Simple right??......WRONG. I copied everything and only made a change in the server name when su ing to them.
The script got the error "not a file or directory "
So I compare the 2 no diff(except for the names which are correct) .
I then try an experiment. I go to each server and type the cd command to get to the sqllib and they both work and db2profile is where it should be..humm weird. So I look again don't see the problem, logout log back in and cd to EACH directory. BAM found a problem.
On the server that is working when I cd to each direrctory each on shows on the command line(ie /home/server1/sqllib/db2profile) again 1 at a time.
BUT when I do it on my trouble child I get:
/home..it shows
/server2..IT DOES NOT SHOW(it is a blank)
/sqllib.. I see sqllib but not the entire path
So how do I fix this??

thanks

Change directories to /home

do a "ls -l"

do you see a server2 directory?

Be sure of your capitalization remember that Linux is case sensitive.

Yes I see the server2 directory.
The directory is there ..here is a better example ;
server2user@server2:/home cd user2dir(which is found by doing an ls)
THE NEXT DISPLAY IS:
server2user@server2:~> with no /home directory shown
then I go to sqllib(where the db2profile executable is) I get
server2user@server2:~/sqllib> and an ls at all the stops show up correctly

The ~ character is shorthand for the /home/currentuser directory
