Hi Marc:
I just encountered the problem for the first time in 2.5 years about a week ago. The best solution is to have a UFS partition either as part (or all) of one of your disks, or perhaps NFS mounted from another computer. If you don't have access to this, you might be interested in a workaround (in the context of some NMR software):

The best of all possible worlds is to have two disks, or at least 2 partitions, on your mac, one of which is UFS. But I stress this is the first time I encountered a problem in 2.5 years and I have plenty of SGIs and other unix machines in our group.
as I am trying to integrate my ibook in an otherwise linux or SGI dominated environment - is that the HFS+ filesystem has a lot of limitations, the most annoying one being that capital letters are not distinguished from non-capital ones (in the sense that you cannot have two files README and readme in the same directory). I agree that this should not happen very often, but it sometimes does, and is creating some disfunction.
