I'm seeing inconsistency between dx ls and dx ls *.gz and files missing from the latter are ignored by dx download *

I've completed a regenie gwas on the 200k WES data and am trying to download the results. I initially only ran chromosome 22 and downloaded the result from that.   The jobs for all the other chromosomes are now done and in the web interface and if I do dx ls the resulting files are all listed, but if I do dx ls *.gz only that first chromosome 22 file is listed, and both dx download -f *.gz and dx download -f * download only that one file.

    I think you are downloading results to the same folder that contain your chr22 results. When your bash see the *.gz, it expand to your chr22*.gz files and try to download just that. You can try dx ls "*.gz" instead, so your * don't get expand before info is sent to server.
