I tried copying one from OS X onto my pre7 FreeBSD system and got the same
error as trying to create one . Since your user successfully copied them
on to the system, maybe there is hope, since I cannot even do that on my
on-linux system. I will try some tests tomorrow on my Mandrake 8
workstation, onto which I will install 1.5pre7. It may be more an
underlying OS issue, and how their file systems handle it. I don't know
and that is just a guess. Usually linux uses extfs and FreeBSD uses ufs so
there may be some differences there too.
best of luck, wish I could be of more assistance.
