That is an interesting error, but I dont think anyone is going to fix it. I
mean, lets face it, MS Word doesnt run properly from an off line filestore,
and that came from microsoft themselves (you cant suspend a notebook when
editing a network file, even if the file is in the offline cache)

1. do not trust the offline file system in win2K, not with anything you
value. It is adequate for a self-updating cache of read only content, but is
not a valid place to create new build directory heirarchies.

2. consider an SCM system with an off-line mode instead.
