I don't have any shelldb customizations and the following works for me:
  find -na[TAB] => find -name.

Check:
  C-h c [TAB]   => comint-dynamic-complete    (shell-mode default)

  C-h v shell-dynamic-complete-functions      (where shellc gets installed)

  also check that emacs is tracking your CWD correctly


My guess is that your expectations are too high.

(or you're too used to tcsh's completions.)
