To me happened that when I created my user, due to some control-char,
the directory created was not "/usr/myname", but "/usr/*name", where
"*" is a character visible only on certain places. For instance, it's
not visible in 'acme', but visible in a shell.
Of course, I cannot remove that directory because I don't know how did
I type that character. :)
Check so a simple "lc /usr"
