On access scanning problem

Adrian1

I have installed Sophos AV for Mac installed on Mac Pro. All my downloads are normally directed to a folder on a separate volume. On access scanning works fine if I download any of the eicar file to anywhere on the drive containing the System and User directories. However, if I download to anywhere on the volume containing my Downloads folder, Sophos doesn't see it, nor does it do anything if I unzip eicar. If I do a manual scan then eicar is detected. Permissions on the problematic volume are:

Any ideas?

    Strange, but this problem seems to have been resolved by the simple expedient of copying everything off the offending volume, deleting the partition then recreating it. I copied everything back then recreated new folders and copied across contents of original folders. All the folder and file permissions are the same as before.

    Go figure!
