Great, so according to all those who replied, there's no problem. This
ought to be fun to track down. Perhaps I can get the user to recreate
another file with the exact name string with the slashes .. I think I
turned off extreme verbose debugging too.. ugh.
This was a file that was saved locally, copied to the appleshare volume,
then copied back (so there's _already_ a copied on the server, implying
.AppleDouble entries, for those keeping track), worked with, renamed
locally and copied back to the server. As far as I can tell, this
should result in the creation of a new file with the slashes in the
name.
How about two slashes, did anyone test that? "DateFormat foo/bar/bar"
I guess I'll test it out next time I'm at the box, I sure hope I can
duplicate it - because sure as day, we could copy other files no
problem, one had the error (slashes), remove slashes, no problem.
Pretty clear.
Thanks all.
Rich
