This isn't an issue with grep, but with your shell not expanding wildcards.
If
grep Cock *
gives you
grep: *: No such file or directory
then I'd expect
echo *
to give you
*
If indeed the shell isn't expanding wildcards (but does for root), then
I'd suspect the directory isn't readable by the current user (i.e. it's
--x or -wx rather than r-x or rwx).
