Hello folks,

I have a strange problem over here (Mac OS 10.4.11):

When I navigate to a folder on a mounted volume (afp) I see...

...through the Finder:
0 files
1 folder named "archive"

...through the Terminal (ls):
3 xml-files
0 folders

When I try to use the "open" command in the terminal it just doesn't work (finder comes to front, but no window appears).

Has anybody experience with this "out of sync" behaviour between finder and terminal (especially that the finder shows files, the terminal can't see).

I did not try any rebooting or relogins because it's a server and I would be happy to prevent interupting this thing. I tried to re-mount the volume though.

Thanks in advance

You'd probably need to let us know what the permissions are on these files. Differing permissions might explain the problem.

Hi ibook_steve,

I found out what the problem was.

The files were written by amtu (amazon merchant software) and had the destination /Volumes/RemoteVolume/Path/bla/bla/

Somehow, the connection to the remote volume broke at night, the amtu didn't find the /Volumes/RemoteVolume/ path and created a directory inside /Volumes/ with the name of the remote volume.

The result of that:
I had a new directory inside /Volumes/ which had the name of the remote volume, bu actually wasn't the remote volume. In the finder the actual remote volume was shown, in the terminal I was in the directory /Volume/RemoteVolume which wasn't the remote volume but looked like it.

Strange stuff that got me confused

Thanks for your reply though.
