Summary: filename completion thinks it's in the wrong directory!

Details:

Running on Portnoy, and RT in the SIPB office, I have the following
command line:

  perl -e 'while (<>) {$s+=$_;}; printf "%d\n", $s;'

[I'm learning perl, which is why I didn't use awk.]  Anyway, I went to
enter the filename, which is Backg.  I attempted to do this by typing
B and a ctl-Z (since that is unique and faster).  I was beeped at.  So
I tried b and ctl-Z, and got this list of completions:

> backup             bgplot             bindtest.older     break
> backuperr          bibtex             biod               breaksw
> badsect            bibtex.0.98ib      bison              brushtopbm
> basename           bibtex.0.99c       bison-1.11         bsh
> bash               biff               bison-1.14         btoa
> bash-1.07.4-cwru   biglatex           bison.old          bulkpost
> bc                 bigslitex          bitmap             bulkpost.longform
> bdftosnf           bigtex             blanche            bulkpost.shortform
> beta               bin                bm
> betaxrn            bindtest           bmtoa
> bg                 bindtest.old       bootpd

which looks like a subset of /mit/sipb/@sys to me.  

My path is set as:
