Strange path problems

I don't know if these are related... In version 3.0.1, we had a directory named with a trailing space "Models ". Windows doesn't allow that, so strange things started happening (we'd check in edited files and they would undo checkout. It couldn't edit a file. etc.) We renamed the directory in Vault so there is no trailing space. Now it seems ok, but when our user checks in a file, we get the error in the Vault client:

[4/15/2005 4:25:11 PM] Server unavailable for transaction begin

[4/15/2005 4:25:11 PM] An exception was encountered during the transaction.

I'm going to upgrade to version 3.0.6 tonight, but I wanted to get these bugs logged before I do. Do you think the upgrade will fix these? Sorry to put two together in one post, but I wonder if/suspect that they're related.

I did an iisreset on the server and the exception doesn't happen anymore. So that seems to have fixed it. The "space at the end of a folder name causing only undo checkouts to happen to edited files when checking in in the folder" issue is reproducable, however.

Ok, I upgraded to 3.0.6, and the files in folders with a trailing space now correctly check in (they have other problems, for instance can't find the folder to add files, so takes the next one up, and can't "edit" because the called program cannot find the file) but they no longer undo checkout; they check in correctly.

I don't see any other problems. I think it could be considered a bug that folders in Vault are permitted with trailing spaces, but perhaps that's just extra flexible and it does the best it can given the OS limitations... Anyway, it's good to know.

Haven't seen the other problem.
