We have an OSX 10.6 iMac connected to a Windows server share having a strange intermittent problem browsing directories.
Permissions and access is fine, I can open the folder and subfolders just fine, but certain folders will jump up a directory level after one or two seconds. I can click to go back in the directory, see the files for a few seconds, then it jumps back up.
It is a directory created from the iMac. The Windows admin checked file permissions and access and believe that is not the problem.
A curious discovery is that it is only a problem in Finder. If I open Word 2008 and browse to open existing file and open the directory in question, the jumping problem does not happen.
A little more info... the directories in question are on a Windows Server 2008 machine, but we have been working with this setup for over a year with no problems. Also, the folder that jumps up has a number sign # in the name, but we've used that before with no issue.
Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
