well, it happened... i was root atm, in a jail, but i'll try to recreate
the bug...

too bad its on my live webserver... i can do all this and still get
nowhere, reading from your answer i hit something that is not possible.
so i won't be able to recreate it anyway.. my problem remains the same,
no argueing about it, my directories _did_ turn into files.

sorry about that, i forgot to setup my textwith... 72 chars is okay
right?

bye
