Well I had got that wrong, main system is powered and I hadn't adjusted for that, but having linked VDD and GND it still behaves the same.

I have just tested it out using a spare RasPi and the new sensors and wiring are fine, which is what I wanted to test, but I am still interested to get to the bottom of this.

Are you using them with passive power (powered by the 1-wire line)? If so, possibly you connected the VCC pin wrong (I did that once and got the same behaviour).

    i am extending my network, adding 3 temperature sensors and I
    wanted to
    test the wiring before I actually connect them to my live system.  I
    installed owfs on my laptop and used a spare DS9490R USB adapter to
    connect to the new sensors. This is what I see at the terminal

    mick@mick-deb-laptop:/opt/owfs/bin$ sudo ./owfs -u -m /var/1-wire/mnt/
    --nozero --allow_other
    DEFAULT: ow_usb_msg.c:(295) Opened USB DS9490 bus master at 2:3.
    DEFAULT: ow_usb_cycle.c:(191) Set DS9490 2:3 unique id to 81 8C 7E
    30 00
    00 00 BA
    mick@mick-deb-laptop:/opt/owfs/bin$

    That all looks OK, but when I look at the directory in Nautilus I see
    everything as expected, but when I double click the 'temperature'
    register for example, I get an error

         The folder contents could not be displayed.
         Sorry, could not display all the contents of "temperature": Not a
    directory

    But if I move to the sensor directory in a terminal and cat
    temperature
    it works!
    mick@mick-deb-laptop:/var/1-wire/mnt/28.C33A7A020000$ cat temperature
            21.25mick@mick-deb-laptop:/var/1-wire/mnt/28.C33A7A020000$

     From what I have seen I suspect that my new sensors and wiring are OK
    and the problem is with my laptop, but I would be much happier if
    I knew
    exactly what the problem is.  Any idea what is wrong here?

    Thanks
    Mick
