Thanks, again, but I dunno; I may never understand this one.

Get Info on the current incarnation of the folder shows "Zero KB on disk (Zero bytes) for 0 items", and toggling invisibles shows nothing, but CCC identified the original as sitting on bad media. Does that mean that CCC couldn't read the bad blocks to determine that there was nothing to read? (The original was an empty, never-touched iPhoto default folder, so I'm assuming that its current incarnation is identical.)

At any rate, as I said, the drive tanked within days and has since been replaced. (But thanks for the good advice.)
