Yes it is.
And those views (finally) give us the information needed to fix the Backdoor lock.

Question: is the leading '#' your recovery tool's way of marking a deleted file?
(Usually '_' is used)

What can you do?
Add a serial port connection to the console, operator's port.
UNLESS the device had been jail broken before the update to 5.6.5
