However, I'm using Leopard and will try a test here to see what happens when I try to create one through the terminal. I could do so without error. Maybe something is not correct with the installation of Snow Leopard, or maybe it blocks creating . (dot) directories. Unfortunately, I don't have it to check. Maybe doh123 or ryan woodsall can check on this. James McKenzie
