first it is not a pair directories, but a directory and a file.
second, are you sure both of the mare just ".." for example
eax /tmp % touch ".. "
eax /tmp % ls -la | grep "\.\."
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1024 Sep 16 2000 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 adam adam 0 Jul 16 01:09 ..

eax /tmp % ls -la | grep "\.\." | od -a
