You should be able to click on that commit in gitk and see that the
files were added (confirm you really added them).

If that ignore entry was there when you did the commit then maybe you
never really committed them.

The gitk step above will tell you if they are there.

Its not looking like you really committed them like you thought you did.

If the files were really committed, then you should have that commit in
your history also.  Therefore, you should be able to 'git checkout' 
those files into your worktree.
