I've had reports of people that experienced this, yes.  They were 
creating HDF5 files with PyTables and h5ls was not able to look into 
them.  After contacting the THG help desk they confirmed that this was 
a know problem and that will be fixed in next HDF5 1.8.2.

How have you created your files?  Can you send an example file or a 
sample code to generate it?

Cheers,
