Disk Warrior 2 & Norton. I'd recommend DW b/c my guess is it's a directory corruption. DW is designed specifically for that issue but in OSX I found Norton more effective to fix it & yes even in OS9 sometimes Norton can fix it. There are other utilities out there but. I'd recommend these two 1st. When you're moving files frequently off a HDD or partition then it does leave the way for some directory errors. But these errors are potentially hazardous to file recovery so fix them now. asap

Rebuild your desktop for a start to see if that does any help: restart computer holding down apple & OPTION keys simultaneously.
