ExpanDrive doesn't like more than one connection under Snow Leopard.
I frequently need to have multiple connections to various servers using ExpanDrive running concurrently.
Today, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I find that having one connection open seems to work okay, but a second connection (a) doesn't show up in the Finder sidebar, and (b) doesn't show anything other than top-level items in that volume.
If I look in Terminal, then I see all of the files I am expecting to see, but am not able to open them with `open`:
I can open a file using mate, but opening a directory does not show any files inside it in the project pane of TextMate.
If I unmount the second drive, I can then work normally on the first drive, as long as I haven't tried to open any files whilst both drives were connected. If I have, then unmounting the second drive appears to work, but the icon is still on the desktop, and the original drive isn't.
Navigating to the first mount point then shows the contents of the second mounted folder.

I have this problem, too!
Tell me when someone solves it.

Inappropriate?i have a similar error, but on one single sftp (ssh) connection ... LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -36 ... the finder frequently crashes when opening this connection and expandrive then hangs, after minutes of waiting it lists some files in a directory, every interaction with the filesystem takes ages ...
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?ExpanDrive 2.1.0b0 solves it for me ! The Error "LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -36" is gone, there is only one other thing not working, i now get the following status for the same server that previously gave the above error: fseventsd[47] failed to make the directory /Volumes/*********************/.fseventsd (1/Operation not permitted) ... btw, i'm not quite sure this is the right topic to post my comments in, just might be related due to the same error ... anyway, thanks for the update and your great work !
I’m happy

Inappropriate?We’re pretty sure that all of the “more than one connection” problems in Snow Leopard have been solved since ExpanDrive 2.0.5. You can download the latest ExpanDrive for Mac here:
