I have updated to Leopard 10.6.2 and am trying to move files from one external hard disk to another. During the transfer i keep getting the message' cannot complete transfer as (filename) already exists' . My problem is before starting the transfer the file was NOT on the other disc and the old message "...do you want to replace the existing file' does not appear. Anybody know what is going on.

I'm not going to be able to help you, but I suspect anyone who could will need to know exactly how these external hard drives are communicating with one another, and possibly with your internal drive as well.
