RE: HMC: how do you list files in altdiskboot?

One oddity, While the second session with the command
while true; do ls -l /hmcdump ; sleep 30; done
worked great on listing hmcnetworkfiles.sum and then disk1.img's progress it failed to show the other files at all. So it was a lot of repetitious looping of
-rw-r--r-- 1 root hmc 3635517440 Nov 20 2020 disk1.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root hmc 55 Nov 20 2020 hmcnetworkfiles.sum
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 5 2018 lost+found

with no changing byte count.
Then, when the transfer was complete, it changed to looping
total 0
I understand why it changed to total 0. What I don't understand is why I didn't see the rest of the files in this list, as they were progressing.
-rw-r--r-- 1 17037 209 1298812928 Nov 20 2020 base.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 17037 209 3635517440 Nov 20 2020 disk1.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 17037 209 55 Nov 20 2020 hmcnetworkfiles.sum
-rw-r--r-- 1 17037 209 8890736 Nov 20 2020 img2a
-rw-r--r-- 1 17037 209 65435095 Nov 20 2020 img3a
