Analyzed the execution with strace and found that the problem was  
that my directory has a mix of upper and lower letters in the path:

./v0noa/vmaplv0/noamer/dq/a/E/

I solved this problem by creating lots of symlinks:

find . -type d > list
grep [A-Z] list > list.upper
for i in `cat list.upper ` ; do l=`echo $i|sed 's/^.*\///g'` ; (cd  
$i/../  ; ln -s $l `echo $l | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` ) ; done

After this fix ogrinfo found 152686 inwatera at hydro(*)_area polygons :)
