AppleDouble and AppleSingle are file formats which incorporate the resource fork and the data fork and the finder information (type/creator and some other things) into a structure for storage on a medium that does not support the HFS specialties. They are commonly used for transport of Apple files over a network.

I thought that AppleDouble would produce two files and that AppleSingle would produce only one but now I am a bit confused. Are you moving files from an HFS+ volume to a UFS volume? I doubt that "../../.AppleDouble/" would ever exist on an HFS+ device unless, perhaps, it got there over a modem. -- --> In Christianity, man can have only one wife. This is known as monotony. <--
