All application which run FreeBSD native >have full access to the mounted NetWare volumes I could be wrong, but this sounds like you have empty directories under /compat/linux/home/sfarren/.NW... (or under /usr/compat/linux, depending on your system). That would at least explain this behaviour, because corresponding directories there are picked up before the real ones by the linuxulator. So the fix would be to just rmdir them... HTH, Juergen
