Another thing would cause skipping a folder: if its name ends with ".noindex", or if it contains a file named ".noindex" (which should not be visible in the Finder).
To make sure that this is not the case, type the following command in e Terminal window:

ls -a1 {folderpath}

You can either type the actual folder path instead of {folderpath}, or drag the folder to the Terminal window to insert its path in the command line. Type the number "1" after "-a" (however, a lowercase "L" should also be OK).
