[fa.info-mac] D.A.M. files DOA

Yesterday I downloaded several of the groups of desk accessories
that have been broadcast in desk accessory mover (D.A.M.) format.
BinHex had no complaints about the files, and when I moved them to
a disk with the D.A.M. on it, the files had the right icon (like
font files, but with an apple on top).  When I tried to load them
into the D.A.M., however, it found every one unacceptable.  If I
opened them by double clicking one of the D.A.M. documents, D.A.M.
gave "error -49" when starting up.  If I opened the D.A.M. directly
and then opened one of the documents with command-L, I got "error
-39" instead.  The files that came with the D.A.M. seemed to work
just fine.

Anyone know what this problem is?
