Thanks Roman,
I'm at work now, so I'll email the pertinent files when I return home.

One thing I wanted to point out was that I would unzip the bad zips to a folder and rebuild from scratch. So I'm not sure if this would cause the issue you described since no zip existed in the destination folder and the source folder contained only files (non-zipped).

Anyhow, just some more info that make give you some ideas.


Thanks Again.
