I haven't seen this particular problem, James, but we manage to get bad (or
at least inappropriately assigned creators) all of the time when moving IMAGE
database files.

Talk to Rene Woc at Adager. He's had a lot of experience regarding
inappropriate creators on databases and getting the right ones properly
reassigned. It's obviously a file system "feature."
