Hmm, strange things happening here. We are working on a Linux machine and 
had lately to add another hard disk. As our MMS application was running 
nicely with a few selected data sets on the old disk, we now just created a 
new data folder on the new disk, put up a symbolic link directing from the 
old data folder to the new one, and filling that one up with our data sets. 
Now, weird thing: The application is still running smoothly, loading all 
files correctly; but when I try to make a query on the shapefiles, I get 
zero results. It seems as if MMS can't access the shapefiles via the 
symbolic link for querying.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stefan
