I moved the sfzj.chd into my CHD directory in a "sfa" folder and put the sfa.zip merged rom sed in the CHD director as well. Clrmame complains that

Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams (Euro 950727) [folder: sfa - size: 15mb]
Set-ZipFile AND Set-Folder exist in the same ROM-Path

Is this what you were talking about in your post? Does MAME not associate sfa as a CHD rom set (since as you said sfa doesn't use the CHD?)

csclub does the same.
