Dreamweaver, OS X 10.4.7, Local folder doesn't exist?

[bdemil]

Since getting m brand new MacBook from Amazon a few days ago, I've been struggling with getting DW (7 and 8) to work with local folders.

After I Define Sites and enter the info for my local copies of the site's files, I connect to the server. The Remote view shows the files on the server, but when I switch back to the Local view, it says the folder where my files are, doesn't exist.

Sometimes when updating the Site it sometimes says "Can't create local folder" so Im guessing DW isn't able to hold onto the fact that the Local folder is there somehow.

I've repaired permissions, verified the disk, made sure the most recent patches are applied on DW (7.01 and 8.02), deleted the DW prefs for both versions.

Everything was working fine on the old PowerBook before I used the Migration Utility to automatically bring things over.

Desperately in need of help!
