Damn, that's what I feared :(  This is going to be a nightmare :(

Okay, next question ... as far as I can tell, the site itself is working
great, from the users perspective, its just when we try to go into the
'manage' interface to add new folders and such that we have the problem
... we have yet to find a 'bad page' in the users front end ... if the
Data.fs was corrupted, based on how you describe how it works above,
shouldn't the users front end also be broken?

Yup ...
