[DM-MUG] DSStore?

[Jon Thompson]

.DS_Store files are where Mac OS X stores things such as custom  
backgrounds, icon sizes, etc.. for a window.

I am not sure why they would be doing this, but is this the hard drive  
that you are having problems with the partitions? I just saw you note  
about the enclosure going bad, and it could have corrupted some nasty  
stuff. If it is the same drive, I would make sure to copy it to a  
fresh drive and at least wipe the existing.
