Again, I'll ask you to reduce this to a single, isolated incident of
os.listdir() that doesn't act as you expect.

If the failure *depends* on the rest of the script, then it's more
complex than "os.listdir() doesn't list the current directory".  It may,
in fact, have nothing to do with os.listdir() at all.

Reducing the test case to a single os.listdir() instance will aid you as
well as us, since you'll be able to have a much better understanding of
what's going on.
