Okay, I think I've figured part of it out. There was a zero length file 
in the download folder called 'Afternoon Drama'. GiP was trying to 
create a *folder* called 'Afternoon Drama', but couldn't because that 
would have been a name clash.

As to *why* there was a file called 'Afternoon Drama', maybe someone at 
the BBC isn't very good at naming files. As for why it was zero length, 
I don't know, but I've been getting a lot of them - about one download 
out of every ten, tv and radio.

So with thanks to Shevek, here's...the kapitano's log:
