Hidden files with rwxrwxrwx@ permission? / Drives not showing up in Finder

I have two drives, one internal and one external, that are showing up with weird permissions. The Finder refuses to display them in the sidebar or otherwise.

Victors-G5:~ VicDiesel$ cd /Volumes/
Victors-G5:Volumes VicDiesel$ ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 14 VicDiesel VicDiesel 544 Sep 18 23:05 Drobo
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Sep 18 23:45 Half a Tera -> /
drwxrwxr-x@ 65 VicDiesel VicDiesel 2278 Sep 5 00:01 Sounds
drwxrwxr-x@ 20 VicDiesel VicDiesel 1292 Sep 18 10:03 iTunes Music collection
Victors-G5:Volumes VicDiesel$

Does anyone know what that at-sign signifies? Not standard Unix, afaik.

Thanks.

Any idea why those drives are not showing up in the Finder? I've copied them to a big drive, and the folders there have the same @-permission, and do also not show up in the finder. In PathFinder, they are shown, but dimmed just like dot-files.

FYI:

Victors-G5:Volumes VicDiesel$ ls -l@
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 14 VicDiesel VicDiesel 544 Sep 18 23:05 Drobo
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Sep 18 23:45 Half a Tera -> /
drwxrwxr-x@ 65 VicDiesel VicDiesel 2278 Sep 5 00:01 Sounds
