Any help here?
How about making their containing folder(s) non-sharable (in the Finder) for
the duration?
Finder Dictionary:
Class sharable container : (inherits from container) A container that may be
shared (disks and folders)
Plural form:
sharable containers
Properties:
owner international text -- the user that owns the container (file
sharing must be on to use this property)
group international text -- the user or group that has special access to
the container (file sharing must be on to use this property)
owner privileges sharing privileges -- the see folders/see files/make
changes privileges for the owner (file sharing must be on to use this
property)
group privileges sharing privileges -- the see folders/see files/make
changes privileges for the group (file sharing must be on to use this
property)
guest privileges sharing privileges -- the see folders/see files/make
changes privileges for everyone (file sharing must be on to use this
property)
privileges inherited boolean -- Are the privileges of the container
always the same as the container in which it is stored? (file sharing must
be on to use this property)
mounted boolean [r/o] -- Is the container mounted on another machine's
desktop? (file sharing must be on to use this property)
exported boolean [r/o] -- Is the container a share point or inside a
share point, i.e., can the container be shared? (file sharing must be on to
use this property)
shared boolean -- Is the container a share point, i.e., is the container
currently being shared? (file sharing must be on to use this property)
protected boolean -- Is the container protected from being moved,
renamed and deleted? (file sharing must be on to use this property)
[It might also be worth trying out 'apply catalog info' in Akua with an
altered record including the properties you want to reset from 'extended
info for' - sometimes this works, even though it says it's to be used with
'basic info for'.]
