The only time I've seen that error was when some Macs were using a
Windows file server, and people named folders with something ending in a
period.  Windows hosts couldn't open the directory at all, saying it
didn't exist, but renaming the folder on a Mac fixed it.  Your problem
looks like it has more to do with VSS though.
