Files are now stored in fields called Bdsk-File-*, which aren't visible in the UI except in the file pane or table column. Do you see file icons in the file pane on the right side of the main window? >Our home directories are mounted from a remote (Linux) server (and >with /home as the local mount point; I mention this because this has >caused trouble in other fields as well under Tiger and ought to work >much better under leopard).

Well, I can definitely say we didn't test this particular scenario! I'm assuming you use NFS, then? I haven't tried to set that up on OS X in years; it was a bit flaky last I used it.
