Could it be that a resource type is used, that is not known anymore by 
the system?

check the source code of the window, where the files should be listed 
and where you see "nothing".
Compare the javascript code with the code of a folder view where you see 
someting.

You might also want to export the files.
There are several ways for this
- synchronize the folder down with the synchronization tool (I think you 
can configure that in the "Workplace Tools" section of the opencms Admin 
view)
- OR: export the whole database with the database tools
- OR: export the whol database or part of it with the Cms shell

After that you can look into the metadata file that has been exported in 
any of these ways.

Maybe this will give you some clue.
