[Ti] file names at iDisk

[David Remahl]

It appears that HomePage has problems with filenames that are too long. 
Remeber how OS 9 didn't allow names longer than 31 characters (bytes, 
actually)? HomePage seems to have the same issue. If you reboot your 
system, and mount your iDisk in OS 9, I think you will see the same 
problem.

You should do two things:

	1. File a bug report with Apple. <http://bugreporter.apple.com/> or 
use the feedback form for .Mac.
	2. Shorten the names.

Unfortunately I can't see any other solution to your problem.
