Ok... this is getting weird. I just sent that last email.
The trying to recreate... I copied 1 directory of 30 files from a USB3 drive to my 14.04 HD to my ~/Desktop directory. Confirmed both the directory I copied and the files in it were there. Checked the ~/Desktop/family directory where I had originally put the Word .docx and .odp files and that directory was still "empty". I rebooted. then .. checked to see that the "new" directory of files I had copied to my HD... it was. I checked the ~/Desktop/family folder again... now instead of it being empty... all of the original .docx and .odp files are back... and time stamped yesterday ..??? I again ran fsck and again it reports no errors. I understand I am still using Beta code so ... just delete the Bug 1306237. You can delete the bug I filed as I am not sure I know how to figure out what is going on with my file system. Hopefully whatever is going on goes away/disappears with future updates to 14.04 as I know alot is going on prior the 17th.
