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.

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?
