I saw this happen with Macromedia Flash native files on my servers (I'm
running Linux systems here). It only occurred with 1.4b2, and if I'm not
mistaken, it turned out to be a problem with the write permissions for the
.AppleDouble and .AppleDesktop files in the offending directories. Make sure
that those files are user and/or group writeable. You may also wish to look
at your AppleVolumes.system file and make sure that the correct MacOS
creator and type codes are correct, although I suspect that they are.
