File Error on Save

Ive been having this weird problem where halfway through the day, when i try to save, I get a prompt that says "File Error: Unknown File" Then i have to save a local copy to my desktop and then replace the original on the server to update my work. Any one else get this? know why i get it?

thanks...

Does the project file or sequence or clip names have any oddball punctuation: / < > [ ] { } ( ) ; : or more than one dot . ?

How about the destination volume?

--double post sorry--

project files are generally just text, though the sequences have lots of underscores, just to keep them web friendly. The servers here as well have lots of underscores but nothing i would deem unsafe formatting...

Again i can save them to server for a while, then randomly i get the file save error when i have to go local, when i replace the server file with the local, i can save back to the server again but eventually it gets the same error again....very weird

I've seen this several times, mostly on Xsan installations (the commonality being a write to remote server volume). Occurred with 5.xx alot, haven't seen it yet with 6.xx. I haven't been able to nail down anything that would be reproducible.

Yeah well we are still on 5.1.4 here, not sure when they will switch. Not sure if it is an Xsan tho you are probably right. Well, good to know im not the only one, ive got a work around i was just curious to see if there was a reason why... thanks

I've seen this on odd occasions, too. Recently on a fcp 6.0 project. Media was stored on a separate internal drive. No idea why or how to make it stop.
