Well there is certainly an issue. I just got a brand new G4 with OSX
installed and it connect and copy files to and fro no problem but it
seems that if you copy an application that happens to be a directory you
will get errors. (I used TextEdit as a test) I saw there were similar
problems with the Samba port to OSX. I do not know if they are related
or what version of Mac your running.
