I was sharing an entire ntfs partition to copy stuff to a windows box. Viewing the share from the windows box would give those 0 byte files *UNLESS* I had recently done an ls in that directory on the local machine (or an ssh shell). I was able to solve this by changing the mount point permissions to 777, and hence every file in the ntfs partition. I'm not particularly happy with this solution and feel there's something I'm missing, but it might be a start. Andrew
