No, no files in the file pane. And should they not also be displayed  
in the column (local field) which I added to the main viewer window  
by "add other"?

Yes, we use NFS, yes it is flaky and required some hacks, which is  
one of the reasons we mount it to /home (the real mount point, btw,  
is somewhere in /private/var/autmount, if that makes any difference).  
We are going to switch our local computers to Leopard soon, and the  
automounting works completely differently there and also better (so I  
was told).

You understood me correctly, but I described it a bit wrong: the  
symlink goes to

nfs:/home/ourgroupfolder/papers

which (I think) is on the same partition, not a different one. I am  
not sure, though.
