I see this message when copying a folder with 2k files in it from an external server to my laptop: gnome-vfs-modules-ERROR **: file file-method.c: line 2108 (do_create_symbolic_link): assertion failed: (target_reference != NULL) Backtrace: Backtrace was generated from '/opt/gnome/bin/nautilus' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
