I could imagine a few situations, where this can happen. The file 
"aaaaaaaa.cnt" in the data directory holds the last used physical ID. 
When this gets messed up and you create new physical nodes up you are in 
big trouble. I had a similar case in my database but in my case the user 
added the same file as a different user with different access rights. 
The biggest problem is that VSS does not know atomic comits and rollback 
activities if something fails during the commit.



The only solution to this problem: analyze and then manually edit the 
files and again analyze.
