Tried on both laptops, both giving:

  root@Rhea:/homes/floemker > /usr/local/bin/cfs fl /coda/homes/floemker
          DANGER:   these files will be lost, if disconnected

What "worked" finally was:

Reboot Laptop1, and after venus restart 
the file was length 0 also on laptop1, 
i.e. it had vanished altogether :-(

Never mind, it was not important in first place,
and even if, we'd had enough time to make a copy ;-)

Hope the problem get sorted before it bites someone badly.

Yours,
Steffen
