Answer 1

I had the same problem:

Using Eclipse DDMS File Explorer the content of sdcard was not visible in any folder (CyanogenMod with Android 4.2.2).

The solution was: On the device you have to give ADB root access. Here: Settings / Developer options / Root access

Then the content of sdcard is visible in this folder: /mnt/shell/emulated/0

Answer 2

Try looking into /mnt/sdcard folder instead of /sdcard. I had the same problem.

You can download Astro file explorer from marketplace to do this. It is free.
