File Sharing keeps adding a "-1" to folder name? Help!

[WilliamG]

Heya,

So I'm trying to share a folder from my Mac mini (server) to my iMac: The folder is called "James Files"

For some reason, when it's shared the share showing up as as "James Files-1"

Any idea what it's doing this? If I change the name to something else - like "Monkey Files" it shows up correctly. For some reason it really just doesn't want to be called "James Files" without adding the -1 to the end...

Any help appreciated...

Usually that 1 appended happens when you already have a volume with that name.

But in this case I don't...
