can't see folder using datastore browser for a LUN

Using datastore browser, I cannot see any of the folders that are inside of a LUN shared across 3 ESX 3.5 nodes. I only see the files when using SCP by listing the vmsf folder. This doesn't create any issues at this point as vmotion and other functions work but it is a concern.

Could you browse the Datastore using Web Access?

Perhaps you are using user account which prevent you from browsing the datastore?

Is it a specific datastore, or all datastores......login as administrator and see if it helps.

Yes, I can browse the datastore using WebAccess. All folders and files are displayed. Only when i use the VI, it shows up empty for our LUN. I'm able to browse local datastore fine also.

I tried login as the admin, no folders and\or files are displayed. I also tried connecting directly to the host and using root credentials. No luck.
