I believe this bug has been fixed internally.

Bizarre.  If you reboot and then fire up Executor again are you able
to read the files again?  If the drive is write-protected do files
still get unreadable after a few tries?  My guess is that something is
interfering with our SCSI access.  Have you tried this when running
with the "-desperate" switch we recently added?

Can't.  Browser is "feature frozen".  We will be fixing bugs but not
adding features or changing (non-buggy) behaviour between now and the
release of E2.  On the other hand, DOS drives that don't really have a
DOS filesystem on them no longer show up -- that was a bug that we
fixed.
