It's possible that git is confusing them. There was a bug where
git-status with some configurations would show submodules as untracked
files. It was fixed by 98fa473 (refactor handling of "other" files in
ls-files and status, 2008-10-16), which is in v1.6.0.4. Depending on
your git version, you may be seeing that bug.

Otherwise, it's hard to say without more information. Can you show us
what commands you're running, what output you're seeing, and how it
differs from what you expect?
