Description:
Disk data files are properly visible from ndb_show_tables, so they seem to exist in cluster:
7     Tablespace           Online   -                             ts_1
8     Datafile             Online   -                             data_1.dat
5     LogfileGroup         Online   -                             lg_1
82    Datafile             Online   -                             data_2.dat
6     Undofile             Online   -                             undo_1.dat
but from mysqld:

I can only see one data file... 

How to repeat:
No idea yet... :(
Found this after doing a partial start of the cluster using version mysql-5.1.18 ndb-6.2.3.

I have verified this behavior on latest BK of 5.1 - someone with more internals will need to look further as to why. The relevant warning present in Johan's output is as follows;
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message                                            |
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Error | 1296 | Got error 4007 'Send to ndbd node failed' from NDB | 
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
NDB error code 4007: Send to ndbd node failed: Unknown result: Unknown result error

As soon as you bring up the second node you get; 9 rows in set (0.00 sec) as expected. IS looks to be bombing out when trying to query/process down node. 
Where it should continue to display only running nodes files.

Repeat process;

Start 51 cluster;
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg_1 ADD UNDOFILE 'undo_1.dat' INITIAL_SIZE 16M UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE 2M ENGINE NDB;
ALTER LOGFILE GROUP lg_1 ADD UNDOFILE 'undo_2.dat' INITIAL_SIZE 12M ENGINE NDB;
CREATE TABLESPACE ts_1 ADD DATAFILE 'data_1.dat' USE LOGFILE GROUP lg_1 INITIAL_SIZE 32M ENGINE NDB;
ALTER TABLESPACE ts_1 ADD DATAFILE 'data_2.dat' INITIAL_SIZE 48M ENGINE NDB;

ndb_mgm -e 'all stop'

ndbd
(wait for partial start)

mysql> select * from information_schema.FILES
