It appears that if you have replaced a directory with a file of the

point; SafeStore merely thinks it is.

The symptom is familiar but the interpretation doesn't fit
completely.

AFIA I have never created a file with the same name as a directory,

How about an image file? e.g. a zip file. when SparkFS is running, it's
a directory; if SparkFS isn't running, it's a file.

because if I tried to do so I would get an error message.

Not is you deleted the directory (that existed the last time SafeStore
had been run) first.
