I don't know if you have resolved this yet, but one problem is the sappnd flag on some of the files. That flag means that those file are append-only and can't be deleted or truncated. You need to remove the sappnd flag with the command 'chflags nosappnd' for those files. I don't think that is default, so somebody had to have manually set the flag on those files. Whoever did that should have noted that, or didn't understand what the operation meant. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
