It sounds like, for some reason, two files on the disk are trying to link
to the same disk block.  I've never seen this one, but it sounds like 
something got clobbered on that disk.  It may be as simple as the disk's
bitmap, its hard to tell.

If you've got two drives, get a copy of my DiskSalv program (posted here
in source format a few months ago).  It'll copy everything from your 
screwed up disk that's possible, except for the screwiness.  If you
don't have the source available, E-Mail me and I'll mail you source
or executable.  If there's enough demand, I can post the executable on
mod.amiga.sources.
