Replication problems in DFS   

Hello,

I have a strange problem with file replication, please show me a direction 
if there is any.

I have two domain controllers in the network, each running Windows 2003, 
Service Pack 1.

I created a distributed file system root on one of them, shared a folder on 
each of these servers, added a link into the DFS root and specified these 
two shares as targets. The system log shows everything went all right and 
replication has started for this DFS link.

I could check that I can create a new file on one of these shares and see it 
getting replicated in the other. Then I populated one of the shares with 
production data and waited for the replication to complete. Almost 
everything got replicated, except of some jpg files! These files have names 
like 137_3703.JPG and a difference between these files from other jpg files 
(which replicated successfully) was that they were larger (>1Meg). I have 
other files though which are much larger and have replicated without any 
problems.

Checked security permissions of these files and they are no different than 
others.
Another interesting thing: any copies of these (made in explorer window) 
files do not replicate neither. I changed the name, changed extension 
(changed .jpg to .txt), edited and deleted everything in them -- no change. 
These files do not get replicated. But if I open in an editor and do "save 
as" to a new name -- the new name gets replicated.
Installed sonar, could not see any errors.

This really does not make any sense! Has anyone had similar problems? Am I 
missing something? Please help.

Thanks,
Minas.
