Tom, 

I think that what is happening is that your ioDirID field is being changed from
MyCurID on the PBGetCatInfo call. Then, when you try the PBSetCatInfo call,
you are using a DirID different from the original one.

Or something like that. Maybe the field in question is ioVRefNum. At any rate,
I remember having a similar problem not too long ago, and the solution was
to re-initialize some fields that got changed after the PBGetCatInfo call. Or
perhaps your ioFDirIndex field is being changed from -1 to 0, since you are
getting a _file_ not found error.

Sorry for being so fuzzy...
