I'll give this a try. May take a while to get back with the results. I 
would like to know whether SD! is part of the problem. I suppose I could 
downgrade to the previous version which was running under 10.8, which 
didn't have this problem.

Thanks for the pointers. I find sorting through these logs very 
difficult, but I'll try to persevere.

Sorry. Very much an annoyance. The user sent me the log section in a 
TextEdit doc with softwrap. When I paste it into Thunderbird to post 
here, TB insists on 80 character hardwrap. I can't find any pref to 
change that. Enlightenment welcomed.

Wiebetech ToughTech 2TB with USB@, Firewire, and eSATA. Both the user 
and I have several of these drives and none has ever caused a problem. 
So far.
