There are nasty problems with 'mirrored' files in windows folders in Vista
and I assume similar issues in W7. A file write that should fail because of
security has a faked success by writing to an alternate user folder. Doesn't
quite sound like what you are seeing, but you might want to check. Do clean
experiments with junk files that you know never existed before and work with
them only with admin rights.
