Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to do when you come across these
problems. If you are modifying the structure of directories/renaming files
you need to make sure to do it using the tools. Either by using tortoise to
rename them, or having subclipse rename them. This way they will know what
the other is doing. If you are just moving files using file system
commands, then neither will know what's going on.
