Felipe,

The .aux file is an overview file for the dataset in Erdas Imagine format.
However, it has an unusual organization and isn't directly supported by GDAL.
To utilize the whole dataset use the name of the directory containing
the w001001.adf file instead of the name of the individual files.

Best regards,
