I had the same problem, only I copied from Unix directly to a Mac via
AppleShare. This did not work! I'm in a position where I can download
the files directly to the Mac from the unix machine via FTP. It seems
that the Unix system somehow corrupts the macBinary files. Maybe you can
try this: 1. You could binhex the files on unix (using mcvert for
instance) and then download them as a ascii file and unbinhex them on
your mac. Or 2. You could try and run binhex 5.0 (MacBinary) on the .bin
file on your Mac. (this didn't really work with, but then again, maybe
i'm wrong).
