I'm running a midnight phantom that phantom's a program that logs into the
appropriate account and runs the daily cleanup process.  One of the tasks this
program performs is it cleans up the mv.NET with the following code:
 
*
** Clean up MV.NET by chaining to it (because mv.NET can't execute
** through nested EXECUTEs).
CHAIN \MVNET.CLEANUP\

This code makes the following log entry:
 
Process started at 00:30:02 Jan 02 2008
mv.NET Global Housekeeping Routine
==================================
*** WARNING : It is vital that this routine is only executed when ALL ***
*** mv.NET users/processes have been closed/terminated.  ***
Type 'YES' to run complete housekeep
Type 'FILES' to only delete temporary files
or press [Return] to cancel : MVNET.CONNECTS is cleared.
File size(0) is < minimum hash file size, blocksize(1024) *
(modulo(503) + 1).
E:\MVNET\MV.NET\MVNET.READIMAGES is not a UniData data file
Cannot open file MVNET.READIMAGES, Unidata internal errno is 0.

Normally (nine times out of ten) the message looks like:
 
Process started at 00:30:03 Jan 01 2008
mv.NET Global Housekeeping Routine
==================================
*** WARNING : It is vital that this routine is only executed when ALL ***
*** mv.NET users/processes have been closed/terminated.  ***
Type 'YES' to run complete housekeep
Type 'FILES' to only delete temporary files
or press [Return] to cancel : MVNET.CONNECTS is cleared.
MVNET.READIMAGES is cleared.
 
12 MVNET lists deleted.

This cleanup process occurs on many accounts on our production system and this 
same
issue pops up every once in awhile.  A file stat shows:
 
3 Ham (0)-> FILE.STAT MVNET.READIMAGES
 
             01:01:10 Jan 02 2008

While the VOC pointer looks like:
 
< 2 > Top of "MVNET.READIMAGES" in "VOC", 3 lines, 69 characters.
*--: P
001: F
002: E:\MVNET\MV.NET\MVNET.READIMAGES
003: E:\MVNET\MV.NET\D_MVNET.READIMAGES

This issue only occurs occasionally.  As far as I can tell, permissions are 
fine.
Something very wierd is going on.  Can anyone illuminate the problem here, or 
where I
can look?
 
Thanks,
