odd error on older DCRs

Grundy

TeamSite 6.1 on Win 2000 Server SP4

A user reported that when trying to edit a certain DCR, she got this error message:
"The category/type loan_services/general does not exist in templating.cfg. Please contact your system administrator."

Problem is that the given data type does in fact exist in templating.cfg, and I can edit other files of the same type in the same workarea with no problem.

After poking around a bit, I discovered the error seems to be a function of the last modification date of the DCRs. The error shows for older DCRs but not for newer ones. This happens regardless of whether I'm editing or simply viewing.

The affected DCRs were definitely created before our upgrade to 5.5.2, perhaps before our upgrade to 5.0.2. But when I compare the XML code to newer ones which work fine, I don't see any significant difference apart from the content itself.

Any ideas?

I doubt it has anything to do with the XML within the file. My guess is that there's something funky with the EAs attached to the files. Does everything match up - EAs, directory structure under templatedata, and templating.cfg? And, by match, I mean exactly - case sensitive comparison.
