Did you set the permissions on the subfolder to allow a logged in user
to see it?
IIRC, the GUF test user, jorge, has a role of 'specialrole'. If you only
removed all inherited permissions, and didn't specify the new role to be
able to view the document (and access contents information, of course),
this will happen. It hit me for about 30 minutes.
