[OS X TeX] mkdir and finder

No, I didn't. Here's another example.

David-Arnolds-Computer:~/Documents/NewBook davidarnold$ mkdir david
David-Arnolds-Computer:~/Documents/NewBook davidarnold$ ls
Appendix                axesedit.m              multigraf.m
Chapter01               axesmove.m              odesolve.m
Chapter02               centeraxes.m            oscillators
Chapter03               circuits                polking.zip
Chapter04               conversion              pplane6.m
Chapter05               conversions             ppstart.m
Chapter06               david                   rk2.m

But it is not visible in the Finder. However, here's another piece of 
evidence I am worried about.

David-Arnolds-Computer:~/Documents/NewBook davidarnold$ ls -l

See the owner of the file? davidarn

But,

David-Arnolds-Computer:~/Documents/NewBook davidarnold$

See davidarnold?

Seems contrary to me. Could this be the problem?
