1. Are you sure that the directory tree contains the actual mount point,
not just a symlink to it? os.walk() doesn't follow symlinks unless
followlinks=True is given explicitly.

2. Have you tried using the onerror= parameter to report errors? The
default is to silently ignore errors from os.listdir().
