Can't create new folder in namespace

I'm trying to add a folder to a namespace on a Server 2008 DFS. The add
fails with this error message: "The folder target
\\hard-eight\ddrive\mailboxes cannot be added to the folder. The directory
is not empty". I am confused about "the directory is not empty"> What is DFS
talking about?

Hello Tom,

Could you tell me what tool are you using to add the folder? DFSUtil or DFS
Mgmt UI?

Regards,

John
