Just to cover the "is it plugged in" level of troubleshooting... are you the
only person who has the password to an account that can delete items from
Casper Admin, or directly from the CasperShare?

I assume you have it hosted on an OS X server? Are the ACLs and
permissions for your read only and read/write account set properly on
the server side? I have never seen a script "delete itself" before. Any other data on that casper share that is coming up missing?

Yes, it's on OS X Server, Leopard. On the CasperShare sharepoint, there's currently nobody in the ACL and the POSIX read "casperadmin" as having ownership, "staff" group as read only and others having read only. I'm the only one with access to the server and the only interaction that I do with the CasperShare sharepoint is through the Caser Admin app. Nothing else is going missing.

Currently, that script is the only script that I have, but I'm about to add another. I'll see if it happens to that one as well.

Thanks

For simplicities sake, I recommend you keep the server administrator
owner of every casper share item and then create ACLs for casper admin
and casper install. That way every time you sync down packages and
scripts you can simply populate the ownership and ACLs on down to ensure
they are proper. I also create two local accounts on each casper
server, one casper install and one casper admin, that way I only have
one account that can read/write, and one account that can read only.

I guess it is possible if the account that is reading the script is also
writing to it, by deleting it afterward.

When you push the script out manually through casper remote does it
delete itself?

Have you changed your master file server recently, or could you be adding the script to a server that's not your master. We had issues when we changed our master where it would sync to another server and delete anything new on it because it wasn't syncing the right way.
