After a lot of file transfers from one folder to another- get the error unable to display folder contents. after exiting the file browser I can no longer get back into any other directory. Also I nothing happens if I try to shut down or reboot the system i.e. I cannot select that the operation. I have to use terminal and sudo bash to shutdown and reboot.

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have Ubuntu 7.10 updated to date. After rebooting I can repeat the problem at will by doing numerous file transfers between a folder and it sub-folders and after a while the problem re-occurs. I am transferring mainly mp3 files during this exercise.
