State-Changed-Why:  
Sorry, this is most certainly a pilot error. I assume the directory in 
question (you did not name it...) was on a UFS file system. There is 
no known way for directories to mysteriously disappear other than 
hardware defects messing up file system data structures. If this is the 
case you may have a chance of getting data back by running fsck and 
see if something was reconnected to the lost+found directory on that 
file system. 

By the way, where are your backups?
