Close folder, launch Terminal, enter 'ls -la ' and drag the folder to the Terminal to fill in the path and shows my files, and I am the owner of them.
Double-clicking it opened an empty folder. I think this is a Finder bug still present in 10.4.11 - I just had it happen to me just now - I copied a folder with 5 files in it via my home Airport LAN from my MBP to my iMac's Desktop, and when I got up here to check it, the Finder info said "No items" for that folder. It would be nice if the owners of Stuffit would fix this bug. This is enough to make the Finder suddenly show all the previously invisible files. Jamie Zawinski points out that the best solution for the problem is to just create a new folder in the folder that contains the "missing" data. This typically happens if you have Finder -> View -> ShowViewOptions -> ShowItemInfo enabled. if you use Terminal to look at the expanded folder you should see all the "missing" files and folders.
STUFFIT EXPANDER FOR MAC OS X 10.4.11 ARCHIVE
In actuality if the archive expanded without errors all of the data probably came out okay. Sometimes an archive will expand into an empty folder, or sometimes the folder will contain only one or two files (when it should contain many more), or sometimes only one or two files would be "missing" (invisible). The problem can manifest itself in very scary ways, giving the impression that data was lost. As this comment from TeddyTheBear shows, there is a problem with Stuffit Expander expanding an archive but producing invisible files.
