Can someone provide more information about this particular error?

I'll need to look into this a bit more, but I don't see how it could be very
difficult... perhaps there is some kind of race condition involved.

Hmm... that's interesting.  I still think HTTP is too baroque and
complicated for a remote file system protocol (URI encoding anyone?),
and TCP setup and teardown takes too much time for this to ever be
fast (I can imagine some pipelining of requests perhaps like HTTP
1.1), but I can see how it'd be useful in that HTTP servers are
becoming the "everything server".
