Still having problems with the Amax file transfer stuff. . .

I'll bring it up on my dad's Mack, hit "make transfer disk" to format
the "MiniTD" into the 270K size. As per instructions I then copy the
files I want over to the disk, then click on "Prepare transfer disk"
(or some such thing. . .). This is supposed to move the files over to the
tracks that the Amax can read. I get disk activity, then an
"operation completed successfully" notice.

Now when I try to bring it up on amax, I'll get the icons and file info.
When I click on the Icon, the program will start to load partway, but then
I'll get a message saying "application in use of damaged".

I get the same results when I perform the transfer on my Mack Too at 
work.

I talked to Simon Douglas last week, he said he had never heard of such a 
problem and sent me out the most recent upgrade. The upgrade did the
same thing.

Has anyone else seen the same problem or am I getting prematurely
braindead?
