What does this mean in practice? It means that resource name must disappear from members list. Basically, this functionality is provided to reserve names. I have not checked Slide for this, as I use slide client to talk to NetWare server and IIS. I have seen on IIS, resource continue to exist even after unlocking.

The reason for this could be that Server might have assigned a non-collection resource type to that resource and hence you can't add members to that. I don't think IE should assign any type to a resource on it's own. Best way to find out these things is to use slide client and try to add, so you would be able to find the root cause of the problem.
