Has anyone else experienced problems with saving and retrieving
Illustrator 9 files? Have you tried using the following RPM with
Illustrator files?

ftp://mirror.sit.wisc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/beta/wolverine/en/powertools/i386/RedHat/RPMS/netatalk-1.5pre2-4.i386.rpm

I would like to know if this RPM does the same thing with your Illustrator
files.

Thanks.
