you could try


sudo cd .Jim


That might work. Or you could use chmod to alter the permissions for the directory.


chmod u=rwx .Jim


The chmod command used in this way will make sure you (u) have read (r), write (w), and execute (x) permission on the directory/file that follows.


These are pretty basic so not sure if either of these will work, but I suppose it is worth a shot.
