It might be a good idea to try and see why.  You could use a simple test 
program that calls `statfs' library function, and step inside `statfs' 
with a debugger to see what goes wrong there.  It could be a bug in 
`statfs', but it could also be some bug in the LFN driver.

Likewise here: it would be nice to know why some files aren't found.  
Does `ls' find them?

This is a known bug in the version of `statfs' used to build Fileutils 
3.13.  Fileutils 3.16 should be free of that bug.

Great!  Thanks.
