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.
