Unix File System (Unix Guru's needed)

Here is a unix file directory background I need to give you:
There is this private directory with security 700. Within this private directory is a folder called hwk1. Now with security setting 700 on this private directory, i cant access or ls this folder (as you proably already know). So here is my question.
Even though it's a private directory with security 700, how can I find out if the folder "hwk1" exists in the private directory with the security setting 700 on the parent "private" folder?
Please help! I need to find the answer to this ASAP.

depends on the os...there are particular files that could 'possibly' contain a filesystem structure layout that would point out what you are looking for, this is also dependent on the admin's thoroughness
