Hi.... I just tought I would let you know that the problem actually ended up being a hardware problem. We were getting IO errors on the filesystem we were using (an Ext3 on a SAN). As it happened we were due to move this to a new SAN.....since we did this, I have setup a test which continually runs the upload part of our system and checks the files created.....it has been running for 2 days straight, and no erros so far. We still don't know what piece of hardware is causing the problem and its a bit strange that we haven't seen this before (or else it just coincidentally happened when I started using star). Anyway, it seems the problem is solved..... Thanx for all the replies thus far.
