Really strange samba puzzle

At work we have a server with various samba mounts, and I can also log
on to this machine with ssh. I have a directory in the share containing
a file called "courses.txt". ls through ssh shows it, but ls locally on
the samba share doesn't. If I rename it using the ssh connection to
anything else at all, it becomes visible; set it back to its original
name, and it disappears again. All other files are visible normally.

I can't imagine how to google successfully for this problem (though I
have tried). Has anyone seen this before? Both local and server machines
are the latest stable debian.

Is there another file with a name that differs only in the case of the
letters? Like "Courses.txt"?
