I actually thought the folder was not named *.pbproj, I've just typed
it incorrectly (too much caffeine...)
Anyway, as I understand it, the bundle bit is both stored in the Finder
info for the folder (in something called Catalog Folder Record) and in
the invisible .DS_Store file (but I'm not sure).
So you might want to try to delete the .DS_Store file of your projects
folder (the one that contains "Hire") or the .DS_Store of the "Hire"
folder (maybe try the second one first).
Maybe this helps...

Stef
