listdir reports [Error 1006] The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid

[PerOK]

os.listdir() keep giving this error:
[Error 1006] The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the
opened file is no longer valid:
'V:\\ETOPOK_Example_MyTestView\\LD_FuncBlocks_013\\cnh1603087_ui_toolkit_mid
p\\test/*.*'

The V:\\ETOPOK_Example_MyTestView refer to a ClearCase (CC) dynamic view.

I have found that MS Visual Studio.Net 2002 and 2003 seems to have this
problem with CC.  But I am not using any of MS's Visual Studios. (see
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?ratlid=cctocbody&rs=984&uid=swg21229572)

The seen problem only to appear when some/all caches have forgot about the
directory.  If I query the directory again (multiple times) listdir() will
finally return the content of the directory.

The "DOS" command DIR has no problem listing the same directory.

Configuration:
>>> sys.version
'2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> sys.getwindowsversion()
(5, 0, 2195, 2, 'Service Pack 4')
>>> sys.platform
'win32'


Per OK
PS: Why does the listdir() function add '*.*' to the path?
PS2: Why does the listdir() function add '/*.*' to the path on windows and
not '\\*.*' ?
