@armin-kunaschik, can you help to try these steps and help to isolate if it is vmware problem or packaging problem? thanks!

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic git
apt-get install libmspack-dev libglib2.0-dev libprocps3-dev libdnet-dev libdumbnet-dev

git clone https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools.git
git checkout stable-9.10.x
./configure --without-x --without-pam --without-ssl --without-icu
make MODULES=vmhgfs
insmod modules/linux/vmhgfs/vmhgfs.ko

mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt
ls /mnt

with the above steps, i don't see a problem to list/update files in shared folder...
