If the lock looking things were next to files or folders, (assuming
you sorted the directory by name, type, size or date, of course) that
means that the files they were adjacent to are locked. Select those
files under the Finder and to a "Get Info..." (CMD-I), and you should
see the locked file checkbox marked. If the locks _aren't_ next to any
files... you got me swingin'.
