I had an issue once such as this. It’s possible that this is on mount point and not a real directory. Another possibility is there may be white space before the name of the directory that was somehow created.

Try to do: cd \ builds01 or even cd “builds01” and see if that works. If all else fails attempt to use something such as filezilla or winscp and navigate to the path.

Check out user permissions: you are not root at the moment. The folder is readable only by root (and belongs to root).
