Sync copies cannot be created in Briefcase

Hi,

When trying to cut and paste a file into a folder in a briefcase I get the
following message:
Dialog header = "Add to briefcase"
"Sync copies cannot be created in "Folder name" because the folder itself
already has or is a sync copy To add files to this folder, move them into
the folder and click update all."

I have updated all and still get this message. Sometimes I cannot even save
a file to the briefcase, similar message.

In principle I expect that I should be able to create a briefcase and create
new files either in the original synced folder or in the briefcase and have
the two sync when I update. Specifically I have the data on a removable HDD
and a briefcase on my work PC. The idea is that I can take the removable HDD
home and when I return to work sync it to get the two in sync. Sometimes I
leave the removable HDD at home and then want to be able to edit, delete and
create files in briefcase on my work computer.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get around it? Am I
missing the point?

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Sean
