Tracker cannot find a file even if it is present on the devices !

[Dinesh Gadge]

Just to update the list ..
The problem was a programming goof-up on my part .. The files were indeed
there .. but somehow ended up in the wrong domain ...
A few corrections .. and everything worked like magic !

Thanks for the initiative to help though !
