What's the nature of the failure?  Do you get any sort of error message?

If you reduce the number of prefixes, does that solve the problem?
For example, does this work:
Dir.glob("{aacmc7, acm059}*.pdf")

What about this?
Dir.glob("aacmc7*.pdf")

Sorry I can't answer specifically, but answering those questions  
ought to get you at least part of the way to what the real problem is.
