Error description

• Headline:
  Copy and paste of view private files result in owner/group to be
  NOBODY/NOBODY
  
  APAR Description:
  After creating a new element, Windows Clearcase explorer always
  shows the the ownership and
  group to be NOBODY/NOBODY
  
  1. create a new view-private directory (this already gets
  owner/group NOBODY)
  2. in CC Explorer: right-click a versioned directory (checked
  in), choose 'Copy'
  3. in CC Explorer: select the newly created private directory,
  right-click, choose 'Paste'
  4. A recursive copy is created in the new private directory
  5. This copy is owned by NOBODY/NOBODY and cannot be changed or
  removed.
  
  
  WORKAROUND:
  The only way to remove it is to remove the view and re-create
  it.
  Note: in Windows Explorer the 'Paste' step is not possible -
  Windows Explorer 'sees' that the
  private directory is owned by NOBODY and thus does not allow the
  paste in there (CC Explorer
  however allows this)
