I had a lot of trouble with this when I had my TOS on disk . I had 2 versions ..
A UK version and the usual US version . Some files ,in particular folders , were
deemed to be empty by the US version if they were created in the UK version .
Top level directories were ok but any sub-dir was empty according to the US one.
UK reading US created disks had no problems ....!
Dunno if this is any help but here goes anyway .
