Do you have an antivirus program running? I ask this because Norton
AntiVirus and MacAfee cause precisely the problems you were having with
globbing. If you do, deactivate them and try again (you may also need to
reinstall).

There's a little more on this in previous messages at:

What is globbing? See http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/glob.html
where it says:

"To expand special characters in a wildcarded name, or the act of so doing
(the action is also called `globbing').
