This sounds very weird. I would have said that this is impossible, but I remember a similar situation a couple of months ago. I was implementing something in Sharity or playing around with it otherwise. Files showed up in a folder where they can't have been. I have checked at the server directly and the files were in fact in a parallel directory. I turned on debugging in Sharity to see what's going on. To my surprise I found out that THE OPERATING SYSTEM was requesting the directory contents for the wrong directory! I did not worry about it too much because I was playing around with experimental versions of Sharity, crashing the daemon from time to time, mounting, unmounting and so on. I thought that this must have confused the kernel or the Carbon layer of Mac OS X. The problem seems to be rare. I have never been able to reproduce it. If you happen to see it again, can you please open a Terminal window and check with "ls -l" for the directory in question what the Unix layer thinks about the directory contents? And then with Finder what Carbon thinks? And finally: Has anyone in this list using Mac OS X seen a similar problem? Regards, Christian. -- Dipl.-Ing.
