Just slightly :) I just haven't set up my ntp server yet.

I am using the LM75 driver that comes with the Denx embedded linux
kernel. I found the place in the LM75 driver (drivers/hwmon/lm75.c)
where it specifies the attributes to be placed in a separate folder: 

static const struct attribute_group lm75_group = {
	
	//don't put attritube files in a separate folder
	//.name  = "lm75",
	.attrs = lm75_attributes,
};

Commenting out the .name line fixes the problem and I can now read
temperature data from the LM75. 

Thank you so much for all of your help! I'm very glad to get this issue
resolved.
