Try hitting Ctrl-L in the bottom pane after that message appears. Vim
should then retry the directory read and might succeed.

Also, if you have set 'autochdir', try toggling it off.

Make sure there is a slash at the end of directory names in the first
directory listing. If there isn't, that's why Vim cannot read the
subdirectories. You might then try

:e ^R%/

(where ^R means "hit Ctrl-R") after the command fails, to append a / to
the directory name.
