files deleted on server end during transfer

[luke at littlelukey.com]

As a follow up to my question...I tried syncing a directory with some
files of zero length and it appears that they are causing the problems.
The message says "Windows - Delayed Write Failed" "Windows was unable to
save all the data for the file \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Test\(filename of 0
lenght file) The data has been lost. The error may be caused by a failure
of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this
file elsewhere."

Any ideas why I would get this? I have been doing some searching at
groups.google.com and have found that other people aren't having any
trouble mirroring files with leghth of zero.
