Ya, it sounds like you have the ls command alias'd, and alias'd wrong to
the point that the * wildcard isn't being passed correctly.

What happens when you do "/bin/ls -l *"?

If that works, you definately have an alias problem.  What happens when
you enter "alias ls"?  Look in your .cshrc file an see if ls is alias'd.
