Thanks.  That does seem weird, but to make sure we have all details,
what output do you get on the client side if you do this?

  mtn ls vars

hendrik> So "." should match a period, and "*" matches zero or more characters.

The special rule about file names starting with a dot has nothing to
do with globbing per se...  or bash, for that matter.  It's 'ls' that
filters them away (unless you say otherwise, with '-a').

Cheers,
Richard
