music icons change to documents and files become unreadable, help :(
 

what would cause sound file icons in nautilus to turn to document icons and render the files unplayable until logging out and back into the system ?

i thought at first my backup drive was only vulernable to this until it happened in my /home directory.

please help

my question is pretty simple. i am using gutsy. when i browse a folder filled with folders embeded with audio files the audio (music note) icon turns to a silver document icon, and for what was once a launchable sound file from nautilus no longer can be launched. this phenonemna i thought was unique to me playing sound files on my external backup drive started happening to my /home directory. logging in and out of gnome is what makes the found a sound file again.

dont see how i needed to view a "asking smart questions" website to say that.
