Either the directories or files don't exist, or permissions on the
directories disallow the current user to look inside them. If the files
and dirs really do exist, then check the permissions on all the
directories /, /directory, /directory/directory, /driectory/directory/zips
etc with ls -ld <dir> and check the r and x permissions allow the
appropriate user to browse into them.
