        Hello.  You might be right that it is a directory handling bug rather
than a file handling bug.  The way I'd test this theory is as follows:

1.  Delete all the files you transfered from the Bookport flash card.

2.  Delete the directory they were in.

3.  Create a new directory with a new name on the flash card.

4. One by one, put each file back, and see how it works.

5.  If you get them all back, and all is good, then it means that the
previous directory had some corruption in it some how, and that was what
was causing the problem.


        I think this is a long-standing bug which has been manifesting itself
in a number of ways, mostly through the Out of drobj structures error
messages people report from time to time on this list.  See this list's
archives from October and November 2005 for a more complete explanation of
what I believe the problem is, and how to demonstrate it.
