[Ray Batchelor]

Hmmm.... this may be an issue with specific access servers and or
specific remote library servers.
I am currently viewing (from an access server, as course coordinator)
a folder which should have 6 problem resources in it (according to
what I see when logged onto the library server).  The same role
logged-onto the access server sees only five of the resources both in
NAV and Edit Course.

The seemingly missing resource is
/res/fsu/capalibrary/75InterferDiffISlitsFilms/prob11.problem
