So your saying you can't see the directories but they're there?

It is possible that you've inadvertantly removed the executable bit
for the directories for your user.

any chance you could do:
ls -al /
and then as root
sudo ls -al /

this should give you the groups and permissions.
Note that the executable bit on directories makes it listable.

Or it could be something totally unrelated, in which case I haven't a clue.
