File Panel Directory Problem

Question

I'm running Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OS X accessing a connected
samba file share. In the file panel, I noticed something strange.
Some directories do not show as folders, but as an unknown file
type. Refreshing the list produces the same. I began looking at the
pattern of strange directories. Every one that has a problem
contains a subdirectory named the same as the parent. By renaming
the subdirectory to something different, and then refreshing the
file panel, they appeared normally. Since I cannot rename all of
the subdirectories, I need a better solution. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you seen if this same problem occurs on another site?
Just to be sure
I understand, you have a folder named "foo", and if it
contains a folder
named "foo" you see an unknown file type?
