The reason is that a readdir of /view/my_view/vobs/my_project/src will not
return anything with an @@ in it - the same way you don't see @@ with ls.
If you really want to do what you seem to want to do and not use find
(which, btw, won't be much slower than globbing), you will need to use
constructs that do it in two steps, such as:
ls -1 mysrc.? | awk '{print "ls "$0"@@/main/*/LATEST"}' | sh
There is no magic behind globbing... it's really just as slow/fast as find
would be.
