Hi ,

There is an Apple file share limitaion for OS 9, the KB aticle from Apple
web site is
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=15460

That describes that each folder should contains 65536 files. If you have
more than taht then you need to load balance the share.

Some times this may be the issue with Antivirus.

What is the Antivirus Version you are using? If you are using Symantec
Antivirus 9.0 then please follow the below KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883409
