Data doesn't get corrupted. Even super-large files are perfectly ok.
It's just that the PC wants to start them as an application while it
treats local files with same extension as data files and launches them
correctly into (and not as) an application.

Maybe it's a file name length issue with the NFS
implementation. If the path + filename length
is greater than a user defined or default length
(255 characters I believe), then perhaps it's
getting truncated or otherwise mucked up, or the
error is not being handled correctly.

Can you try copying or renaming one of the suspect
files to a short length name and placing it in
a top level directory on the drive?


Didn't work :-(

When calling the file from within an application everything is fine. When clicking the files it errors, the local PC fails to launch the application registered for that file extension.
